I gave up trying to install NessusWeb on my YellowDog Linux box, since
there's not enough pre-compiled binaries for PPC linux and I don't have the
time to install entire Java and C development systems and hack it together
myself.

So. I'm trying with a RedHat 9 box. I'm following the directions in the
documentation as in Chen's webpage at http://www.cse.sc.edu/~chen7/ with
allowances for some differences in version numbers...
(Oh, and I don't have Nessus running on the system running NessusWeb, but I
was going to work on that after getting the framework done).

I have Tomcat running in memory and the mod_jk2 module installed, everything
starts up... But I can't access the NessusWeb interface. I'm not sure which
port it should be on, as Chen says "Http://host/NessusWeb"; but that just
gives me a 404. Port 8080 isn't listening anymore... Port 8005 and 8009 are
listening, but 8005 refuses connections and 8009 generates these errors:

Oct 26, 2004 4:14:34 PM
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable run
SEVERE: Caught exception (java.lang.NullPointerException) executing
[EMAIL PROTECTED], terminating thread
Oct 26, 2004 4:14:51 PM org.apache.jk.common.MsgAjp processHeader
SEVERE: BAD packet signature 26469

I'm not sure if I need to make changes to the httpd.conf file, the Tomcat
config files, or if there's some sort of incompatability between the various
component versions. Anyone have experience doing this with a RH9 system?
