Hi, here is a work-around. Now tomcat 5 is doing the job. -Add these two lines to the $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh and $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16 export JRE_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.16/jre Those got tomcat running, just the same way one would do it with rpm unix systems. Joseph Senyange gave me the above ideas. Thank LUG guys. Regards, Simon.
