Re: Getting Tomcat5 to run under SL 5.1

[A.K.Srikanth]

Diego,    This is because you dont have the jdk/jre.  I suspect that xml-commons apis blows it away.   I saw the same problem. So I went to add/remove programs and installed the jdk1.5.0_14 again. Then I set the JAVA_HOME variable and it still did not work.   Then I went into add/remove programs on SL5.1 and uninstalled all the tomcat packages. It will remove these along with some dependencies.   Then check that java is still there by going to /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/ and make sure these are real files and not dummy links pointing to nowhere.    Then go to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/index.html and download tomcat 5.5.   You wont have RPMs but you can get it running on SL 5.1 Hope this helps Thanks, Sri A.K.Srikanth wrote: All,   I dont know the what the problem was and didnt get any responses for this query so far.....but I uninstalled all the tomcat packages that came with SL5.1 and downloaded the tar file for 5.5 from Apache website and am up and running Thanks, Sri A.K.Srikanth wrote: Hi,   Have any of you got Tomcat5 running on SL 5.1 working successfully?
