Also, see the openSuSE project (essentially the open source community effort half of the SuSE/novell team). I used to run RedHat but was disappointed in the drop to Fedora. I tried SuSE a few years ago and have never looked back. So easy to install and configure. The YaST systems management tool is amazing. You can still do everything the manual way (and I do sometimes). But the firewall is easy and strong, the package management is simple, the install resizes partitions (even NTFS). Just so many highly polished surfaces there. Try SuSE and see if you ever go back. I have run tomcat and SuSE in production for over a year and not had a problem and am now in the process of upgrading my production server to SuSE 10 and tomcat 5.5.12. So far so good. It's all working in my development area. The improvements in 5.5.12 are EXCELLENT. But there are significant changes in how you set up the server.xml file, so read up on the 5.5 doc page. I had previously only been using 5.0.x. ALso, I had some glitchy problems with 5.5.9. No reason to download it now anyhow, since 5.5.12 is stable release. I also recommend PostgreSQL 8.0 from postgresql.org if you need database (as i imagine you must) (open source and fully ansiSQL standard and RDBMS compliant, unlike mySQL --don't yell at me for saying so, please-- i know how much many people love mySQL. You have to build Postgresql from source on SuSE 10 since no rpms are out in the combination of those versions of SuSE and PGSQL. I tired to use older RPMS--not a good idea. But the build and install went perfectly. Be sure you have the proper dev packages installed before you try. If not, the documentation tells all you need to know. PostgreSQL 8.0, Tomcat 5.5.12, and SuSE 10 are real winners. I have had --no-- problems with the past versions, and these new versions seem up to par or better. I LOVE SuSE 10.0 for my desktop environment/school computing/web surfing/DVD watching(i use KDE) and run everything just described on my Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook. That's my developemnt envrionment. Obviously the combination of KDE and the servers on a notebook are no match for my production environment. but I must say, my notebook and the software on it do all I ever ask them to--school work, web surfing, large SQL routines, JVM, Tomcat--and a fair bit of graphics design. All on open source software. What a wonderful world we live in. (The DVD's I run on XINE, which I had to build, since XINE is stripped down for leagal reasons in SuSE 10, but the build installed great and runs with no problem just by typing xine in KDE). Justin --with more to say than you probably wanted to here By no means--useful to me as well. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Continuing Frustration and Misery with Deployer
What happens if you deploy using the Tomcat manager application? Same error or doesn't occur then? This may help zero in on the problem. Glen Allistair Crossley wrote: Hi List, Honestly, I wish Tomcat web application deployment would be easier/smarter. To pre-empt certain list members from telling me it's my fault, I can assure you my WAR itself is totally 100% no doubts valid. Perhaps it is my method of deploying that is causing the issue, I don't know. I am attempting to use the Tomcat Client Deployer (the Ant script that comes with deployer). I use it to compile the WAR and now want to deploy it to a waiting Tomcat. I ensured my Tomcat webapps folder was wiped and the conf/Catalina/localhost had no context configuration files. My WAR contains a META-INF/context.xml for deploying the context configuration. After I compile my WAR with Deployer, I call C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.12-deployerant -Dserver=intratest deploy Buildfile: build.xml deploy: [deploy] OK - Deployed application at context path /ROOT So it's deployed OK. I wait 5 minutes and then put a request into Tomcat. 404. Why? Because it failed to start the context which in a nutshell is all I ever get when deploying from WARs. My WAR has been exploded fully which is at least something.

Re: tomcat 3.2.4
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/index.html should be 3.2.4. Glen Steve Souza wrote: Hi folks, I'm new to the list, so I apologize in advance for any faux pas I may commit here! The question is simple - we'd like to get the 3.2.4 release of Tomcat, but do not see a download link on the Apache site. Is it archived somewhere? I know it's old, but we haven't moved to the new architecture yet. Many many thanks!

Re: Newbee question on servlet and html - Really frustated with this problem.
I think you are getting this error because Tomcat doesn't realize you are trying to activate the servlet. You probably will need to look at your WEB-INF/web.xml of your web application. You'll need a servlet/ entry that defines BeerSelect and a servlet-mapping/ that ties BeerSelect to its actual url-pattern. (/VBeer/BeerSelect) You can look at the web.xml in the servlet-examples webapp that comes with Tomcat for sample definitions. Glen Developer Developer escribió: does anybody know how to fix this problem. Invocation of servlet prompts a messagebox posing a questions do you want to save this ? instead of executing it and returing the output in the html document. :( On 10/10/05, Developer Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wrote my first html and servlet and deployed it on tomcat 5.5.

I now have my own Tomcat install kind-of-working on a Fedora Core 2 box. It is Tomcat 5.0.x with Apache 1.3. Besides the other answers you will get, I would think you would want to run Tomcat standalone (i.e., have it process HTML pages as well), and not bother with connecting it to the Apache web server. You are just learning about JSP right now; not hosting web applications, so Apache is probably an unnecessary distraction at this time.

Re: RTE - Meridian Club [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Arup misunderstood Leon's message and thought he lazily wanted others to unsubscribe him. That was his main error. But in fairness to Arup, flames can be called for when people ask to be unsubscribed from a technical mailing list that 1000's of other people are subscribed to. People making such requests are usually either newbies who need to be jolted (and also thereby jolting/informing other newbies about to make the same request, keeping the ML free of additional requests), or by rather lazy people who know how to unsubscribe but don't want to bother. The latter type might actually feed on the kid glove approach that David may be inclined to recommend. Glen David Short wrote: Arup needs to work on his social skills.
