Re: Help getting Tomcat4 to work

[Campano, Troy]

Title: Message

I've never used the RPM, but maybe you should use the binary .tar.gz file...it's just as easy to install if not easier.  Do all this as ROOT.

Get the file (http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.tar.gz)

Un-Tar it where you want...I usually untar to /usr/local.



tar -zxvf jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.tar.gz -C /usr/local/



Then I like to make a relative link to that directory,


ln -s /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 /usr/local/tomcat





Then add this to your .bash_profile as ROOT:

TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat; export TOMCAT_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk; export JAVA_HOME





Then run:


$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh




Give it a minute, depending on the speed of your machine and open a browser to http://localhost:8080



Did you make sure $TOMCAT_HOME was set?


Hope this helps.

Subject: Help getting Tomcat4 to work


I am running RedHat 7.2. I installed jdk1.4. I setup environment
variables for JAVA_HOME and also added the path to the jdk/bin to my path.

I installed Tomcat4 rpm. I try connecting to http://localhost:8080/ and
I get the following error message in catalina.out log file:

StandardServer.await: Invalid command 'GET / HTTP/1.1' received

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Manny
