Re: Getting Tomcat5 to run under SL 5.1

[A.K.Srikanth]

To provide a bit more sequence info here:     I installed SL 5.1 (clean install) where I asked for tomcat5 and sister packages to be installed     Then tried to get Tomcat5 running. I got a complaint about xml-xxxxx jar missing. I did a yum with the jar name and that updated fine.     Then I realized that jdk-1.5.0-14 was not installed even though I could swear I asked for it.      So I went to Add/Remove Programs and checked it again and asked that it be installed. It downloaded and installed fine.     Then I tried to get tomcat5 running and I get the problem mentioned in the email below Thanks, Sri A.K.Srikanth wrote: Hi,   Have any of you got Tomcat5 running on SL 5.1 working successfully?
