hi Simon,

I would go with Reinier's advice of using the Ubuntu tomcat install through apt-get. In my experience it worked better in the long run as far as resolving the other dependencies is concerned.

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.

    Dear Ronny,
    here is the java am using.

    /smuwa...@linux-simon:~$ java -version

    Just really wondering why the system-wide environment variables too
    can't be recognized by tomcat. :) Is this what really happens with
    ubuntu 9.04? Ubuntu 9.10 "saw"/
    /them ably. though eclipse was not supported. it would freeze./

    /Might someone be knowing the mistake am making?/

            Dear Simon,

            You need to define JAVA_HOME and CATALINA them usually
            system wide to make it easier.

            https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables

            /etc/environment being a good one.

            Subject: [LUG] Tomcat5.5+Ubuntu Configuration


            Morning,

            I have switched to ubuntu, from the renowned openSuse.

            Am having problems configuring tomcat5.5 on ubuntu, just the
            way it was with Suse.

            Here is how I have gone so far;
            -Downloaded apache tomcat .tar,
            -Extracted it
            -Copied the extracted folder-contents into /usr/local/tomcat
            -Defined JAVA_HOME as
            /home/smuwanga/software/applications/jdk1.6.0_18
            -Defined CATALINA_HOME as /usr/local/tomcat
            -Run # sudo ./startup.sh

            However, an error like this is returned.

            Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable
            is defined
            At least one of these environment variable is needed to run
            this program

            How am I meant to go over this?

            I have also visited
            http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2611681#post2611681
            , this way tomcat installs, but after deploying a *.war
            file, the resource is not available.

            BTW, am using ubuntu 9.0.4

            How can I go about this?

            Regards,
            Simon.
