Hi, On ubuntu the best start of the process would be to
- make sure you are using the local cache: http://linux.or.ug/node/25 sudo apt-get install tomcat-5.5 (might have misspelled the packagename there) That should give you the complete basic install, including all dependencies etc. There is a bit of a weird issue with the tomcat package on ubuntu in regards to security. Tomcat is not allowed to execute just any foreign package/.jar. I am not a tomcat expert, so i mostly end up disabling the security completely. You will have to google a bit to find more about this issue. its been a while that I was playing around with tomcat. -- rgds, Reinier Battenberg Director Mountbatten Ltd. +256 782 801 749 www.mountbatten.net Do you have a businessplan?
