Re: AW: mailing list or news group??

I vote for a web-based forum - all you need is a web browser, 
which you all no doubt have or you wouldn't have subscribed
to this forum in the first place!

Re: AW: mailing list or news group??

2001-05-17 Thread Hassan Siddiqui

Perhaps there is an obvious solution to all
this, so please respond if I'm being silly.

Ideally I would like to 

1. Search through previous messages/faq
2. Post messages

Through one interface.

One could use the local mail client for both,
but this means storing N thousand messages
in one's local area to address 1 above,
 which is certainly not practical. 

To me, a web-based forum (eg egroups, but with a searchable archive) 
is best. The best alternative I can think of
is to use my mail client to post messages,
binning all uncoming messages from tomcat-user
to TRASH, and read messages via Philip Mikal's archive at

http://mikal.org/interests/java/tomcat/index.jsp

(thanks Philip), but this means reading/posting via
two different interfaces, so isn't entirely convenient.

I'm aware that jGuru have an online forum for tomcat,
but this doesn't seem to be the 'official' forum,
and is certainly not as heavily used is this mailing list.
But perhaps the tomcat team could make that the official one.

I agree. I'm a little surprised as to why
they didn't use a newsgroup or web-based forum...

web-based version of mailing list?

2001-05-15 Thread Hassan Siddiqui

Hi

This is probably a silly question, but ever since I subscribed to tomcat-user
I've been bombarded with emails (200 a day). Is there a web-based searchable
version of this forum available? How is everyone else coping? 
The best I can do is filter tomcat-user posts to a special mail folder.

Cheers

No probs, Jesse. I'm a newbie on this mailing list, and I had found it
via a google search:

http://www.perl.jann.com/tomcat/200102/msg00830.html

His full email is also copied below. 

BTW I fixed the problem that I had had when
I posted the email you responded to (silly mistake - forgot to add
a newline between Init fn specifiers in obj.conf), but it that only
revealed *another* problem, which I shall post in a separate message.

I'm glad to hear of someone else working on a similar problem at the moment;
hopefully we can help each other out. (But what the tomcat project needs is a
decent searchable mailing list and faq - I couldn't find either).

Cheers  -Hassan.




Modified Makefile NSAPI connector under Solaris 2.6 (hope thi

Greetings

I managed to compile the NSAPI connector for
Jackarta-Tomcat under the following configuration
(itried to find if someone managed to compile the
module but i found no answer).

Thi is my current configuration
* java version "1.3.0_01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime
Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0_01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0_01, mixed
mode)
* GNU Make version 3.76.1, by Richard Stallman and
Roland McGrath.
* Tomcat 3.2
* Netscape Enterprise Server 3.6
* SunOS  5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-250

Here are the steps to compile the NSAPI connector
using this modified Makefile:

1) Define the following 3 environment variables
(JAVA_HOME, JK_INCLUDE, SUITESOPT_HOME) (i'm using
tcsh on the example but you should change the
syntax on other shells. Also remeber to put your real
paths):

setenv JAVA_HOME /local/usr/j2se
setenv SUITESPOT_HOME /local/netscape/suitespot
setenv JK_DIR
/local5/src/jakarta_source/jakarta-tomcat/src/native/jk

2) Check the new Makefile just to see if everithing is
Ok:

#Modified by Jose Vicente Nunez Zuleta
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on 07/02/2001

# Defines for example NSAPI programs running under
SOLARIS

CC_CMD=gcc -DNET_SSL -DSOLARIS -D_REENTRANT
LD_SHAREDCMD=ld -G

all:

OS_TYPE=solaris
INCLUDEDIR=$(SUITESPOT_HOME)/include
JAVA_INCLUDE=$(JAVA_HOME)/include
JK_INCLUDE=$(JK_DIR)
VPATH=$(JK_INCLUDE):'pwd'

JK_OBJS = jk_ajp12_worker.o jk_ajp13_worker.o
jk_jni_worker.o jk_map.o jk_nwmain.o \
jk_sockbuf.o jk_util.o jk_ajp13.o jk_connect.o \
jk_lb_worker.o jk_msg_buff.o jk_pool.o \
jk_uri_worker_map.o jk_worker.o jk_nsapi_plugin.o


INCLUDE_FLAGS=-I$(INCLUDEDIR) -I$(INCLUDEDIR)/base
-I$(INCLUDEDIR)/frame -I$(JAVA_INCLUDE)
-I$(JAVA_INCLUDE)/$(OS_TYPE) -I$(JK_INCLUDE)
COMMON_DEFS=-DMCC_HTTPD -DXP_UNIX -DSPAPI20 -DSOLARIS
-Wall

all: nsapi_redirector.so

nsapi_redirector.so: $(JK_OBJS)
$(LD_SHAREDCMD) $(JK_OBJS) -o
nsapi_redirector.so $(EXTRA_LDDEFINES)

.c.o:
$(CC_CMD) $(COMMON_DEFS) $(INCLUDE_FLAGS) -c $<

3) Compile the source the NSAPI redirector (i suppouse
yo are in the same directory as the Makefile):
make -f Makefile.solaris

4) Copy the nsapi_redirector.so file to the desired
location and follow the instructions at

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/tomcat-netscape-howto.html
 
 
I followed all the instructions and the NSAPI module
worked without a problem.

I hope this help anyone with the same problem i got :)

Netscape server 3.5.1 & tomcat error

2001-05-11 Thread Hassan Siddiqui

Hi

I'm pretty much a newbie with regards to using tomcat, and to this mailing
list, so forgive me if this has already been covered.

I've built a nsapi_redirector.so using Jose Zuleta's advice in a prev email
on this mailing list (8 Feb 2001), and configured my Netscape Server obj.conf
file according to Gal Shachor's Tomcat Netscape How-To. The relevant entries
to my obj.conf file read:

Init fn="load-modules" funcs="jk_init,jk_service"
shlib="/usr4/users/hsiddiqu/tmp/TOMCAT-NS/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/src/native/netscape/nsapi_redirector.so"
Init fn="jk_init"
worker_file="/usr4/users/hsiddiqu/FIRST/Web/servlet/tomcat/test/3_2_1/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/conf/workers.properties"
log_level="debug"
log_file="/usr4/users/hsiddiqu/FIRST/Web/servlet/tomcat/test/3_2_1/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/nsapi.log"
 

NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/servlet/*" name="servlet"
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/examples/*" name="servlet"

 
ObjectType fn=force-type type=text/plain 
Service fn="jk_service" worker="ajp12" 
 


When I try to restart Netscape Server
I get the following errors:

Status:
[https-firstws1]: pclose() failed. (2: unknown early startup error)
[https-firstws1]: conf_init: Error running init function(late) jk_init:
unknown error 
[https-firstws1]: server exit: status 1 

Any ideas as to what the error could be?

Masiar

I've noticed that you've managed to build nsapi_redirector.so for solaris.
Is it possible for me to have a copy of that? Would it be comparible with
netscape server 3.5.1?

Thanks.

Netscape Enterprise Server (3.5.1) on Unix

2001-05-09 Thread Hassan Siddiqui

I've asked this question already on jguru, which I repeat here:


How do I configure Netscape Enterprise Server (3.5.1) to co-operate with tomcat
on a
Solaris-7 platform? I've read the following doc
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/tomcat-netscape-howto.html
but
that seems to only cover Win32 installations, not UNIX
