Re: Jakarta-Tomcat 4.01 startup problem
Hi, You need to use service tomcat4 start | stop I had the same problem using the rpm. 30/11/2001 03:23:55, Kenneth Fung [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To who it may concern, I have installed jakarta-tomcat 4.01 RPM on My Redhat Linux 7.0. However, there is no *.sh files as described in Tomcat documentation, so I download the ZIP version and extract *.sh files and additional /webapps for startup. I found even I have setup environment variables such as JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME, they seems to have no effect on startup.sh when it want to search the path as described in the file. At the end I add the variables settings manually in the startup.sh file. When everything is ok( JDK1.3.1 also been installed), I typed: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh and there is only a message of memory allocation error left, then nothing else...

HELP assigning a logger object to a context PLUS WEBAPP WOES
Hi all, Current Setup PIII 550- 256 MB Linux RH 7.2 Sun j2ee JDK 1.3.1_01 Tomcat 4.0.1(From rpm) Apache 1.3.2(Pre-Installed) mod_webapp (compiled from source) Webapps directory is on a seperate physical device, is mounted and is accessable from var/tomcat/webapps/ Question: I can assign a logger object to a contect in server.xml when tomcat is stopped and this works OK. When I install a new context, if I want to provide a logger for it, where do I put the definition. (I don;t want to be restarting tomcat everytime I install a new context, I would defeat the point of the manager app.) btw, I still cannot install web applications from .WAR files, following the instuction in the docs. either the default (examples.war ) or any that I create using JBuilder 5, I still get the error that on of the files is missing. Question : Has anyone else had this problem ? ...and if so Question : how did you get around it?

RE: mod_webapp/Tomcat4 ready for production level stuff?
Hi, I currently work in an ISP, we are using Tomcat exclusively to handle ALL our JSP / Servlet EJB apps, we have never seen an outage due to tomcat, and the performace has never given us reason to be concerned. TC4 is currently being used to provide B2B services to clients on a fairly small scale, however the server loads indicate that scaling would not present any significant problems. (No complaints yet) The TC4 architecture seems to be more flexible than previous releases. However, I have been migrating some of our systems to tomcat4 from tc3 and have come across a few teething problems. I'm sure these will be worked out in few maintenance releases, It's a case of suck it and see. 28/11/2001 14:47:26, Carl Boudreau [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I'm involved in developing a large B2B web application.

DEPLOYING WAR FILES / MOD_WEBAPP
Hi all,
Still having the proble where TC4 refuses to install a WAR file, claiming file does
not exist,
The manager app reports the file does not exit.
however when I login as Tomcat4 and extract the file using : jar xf myapp.war
the directory gets created and I can install fine.
How can I make TC4 do this itself?
(Do I need the webapps parent dir in the WAR file ? )
My apologies if my Tabs don't show up correctly.
eg
Should it be built as I am using below
myapp.war
|
WEB-INF/
| |
| lib/
| web.xml
|`
META-INF/
|
MANIFEST.MF
Or
myapp.war
myapp
|
As above.
MOD_ WEBAPP
I'm having a problem with mod_webapp, I can access the servlet without any problem
using {server}:8180/logserver/process
{DATA} As a HTTP POST request.
When I try it using mod_webapp I get Internal server error
Btw,
This doesnt happen using HTTP GET? is this a bug in mod_webapp or I am simpley using
it wrong

Tomcat 4.0.1 webapp deplyment problem
Hi, all I am experiencing two problems , first, I'm trying to deploy a webapp using a WAR file, when I try /manager/install ...

Hi,
I'm glad to have been of some help.
In response to your question:
In order to start any service under linux you must be logged in as root, however, when
you start tomcat it sudo's itself to whatever user id you set
upo in /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf.
I run it as user: tomcat4 and group : sys
Although you don't need to set the group to sys I find it helps, best perhaps to leave
it set to tomcat4.
Hope this helps.
Alec,
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the World to himself. Therefore all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
Alec:
Thanks for your helpful response. I had not found this in any other
documentation.
I have gotten Tomcat to run now on my Linux server. The /var/tomcat4
directory that was created on installation had root as owner and group. I
had to change the group for the /var/tomcat4/logs directory to get it to
run. I was surprised that the tomcat4 directory wasn't created with tomcat4
as the group at least. Should /var/tomcat4 be owned or grouped by tomcat4?
My other question is that I have to start tomcat as root (I log in as myself
and su). I tried to run it as myself, it asks me for a password, I put in
my root password and then it tells me wrong password. Do you have to run
tomcat as root? Is this password some kind of tomcat4 password?
Thanks again for your help,
John

Hi John and Valerie,
Tomcat4.0.1 like the Tomcat distributions before it
comes with startup.sh and other executable script
files as standard.
This files are stored under the $CATALINA_HOME/bin
directory.
Incase you get problems running startup.sh, you should
first set the $CATALINA_HOME varible in you linux
startup scripts (I use the '/etc/profile' file) also
you will need to set the $JAVA_HOME environmental
variable which you can do in the same file. If you are
unsure how to do this open the '/etc/profile' file and
see how the other environmental variables are been
declared and assigned values.
You may then need to logoff and logon just to have the
'/etc/profile' file executed.Then at the command
prompt just type #$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
to stop #$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
Incase of difficulties refer to the documents included
in the distribution.

QUESTION: Can anyone suggest a reason as to why this is happening, even tho this works under 3.2.3 ? QUESTION: What would I need to do to make poolman.xml visible to all webapps ? The most common reason we've found for this error is that tomcat4 is much more picky about the ordering of elements within web.xml. This can mean that it will quietly not set any of your servlet configuration - do you have a parameter in the web.xml saying where to find your xml file perhaps? Take a look in the catalina.out logfile, it would tell you whether this is happening (you'll get complaints about an invalid web.xml file) Tomcat appears to be setting the variables in web.xml, I can call the servlet from a browser by its mapping in web.xml. There are no other any errors in catalina.out apart from the exception below. Let me clarify The poolman.xml file is the configuration file for one of my libraries ,(poolman.jar) poolman.jar is calls poolman.xml (Supposed to be anywhere on the classpath) As I said before this works on 3.2.3 To make a file visible to all webapps should just be a question of telling the other webapps where on the file system the xml file is located surely? If you're accessing through HTTP you could set up a dummy context with access restricted to localhost that contains your configuration files.
