Re: Tomcar 4.0.1 Installation

2001-12-31 Thread Stan Levine

Thanks for the explanation of the convenient libraries. A few questions...
1) You mention step 23, my instructions (Building the Tomcat 4.0
Servlet/JSP  Container) has 17 steps.  Step 16 refers to the
build.properties file. Is this what you are referring to?  What are steps 18
to 23?
2) These instructions say that steps 7 to 17 are optional, implying that
step 16 (for build.properties) is not necessary. I guess it is necessary?

Thanks.

Stan

  Jump forward to step (23), which is where you edit
 the build.properties file to point to all the stuff
 you just downloaded. So just install the packages
 wherever you want and customize build.properties to
 match.

Tomcar 4.0.1 Installation

2001-12-30 Thread Stan Levine

In the instructions for Building The Tomcat 4.0 Servlet/JSP Container, several steps 
say to download into a convenient location. I'm not sure what convenient location 
means. Where should these downloads ultimately reside? I refer to  step (3) 
xerces-x_y_z,step (4) jakarta-tomcat-4.0. and (5)jakarta-serv;etapi-4.  Thanks, Stan



Tomcat 4.0.1 Installation Problem (JAXP 1.1 Download)

2001-12-28 Thread Stan Levine

 I am trying to install Tomcat 4.0.1 on a Redhat Linux 7.0 box. I am up to the part 
where I have to download a binary distribution of
 JAXP 1.1 from http://java.sun.com/xml/download.html. I have downloaded this and it 
turns out to be a .ps (postscript) file. 
It doesn't look like a binary file. Next I'm supposed to unpack it  and move a 
resulting xalan.jar file to another location. 
I am unfamiliar with .ps files. I looked at the above web site and can not find a 
binary download. Has anybody else had this 
problem? 

Thanks, Stan




Re: Problem Installing Tomcat.4.0.1 on Redhat Linux 7.0

2001-12-25 Thread Stan Levine

Thank you, Cynthia, for your response.
1) Regarding the tomcat libraries, that I can't find,
(bin,conf,doc,lib,logs,webapps), I did not install tomcat from a RPM. I used
the binary ( webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz.), did the gunzip
and tar extract. I still can't find these directories.
2) After I added th theWebAppConnection and WebAppDeplay lines to
httpd.conf, I got a syntax error on the WebAppDeploy line when I started
tomcat.  Maybe it was because there is no /examples directory.  Where should
this be?

Thanks.

 If you just want to run the examples, then these should work.  However, I
get an error about invalid virtual host name.  There are various comments
in this email archive about how to work arround this.
 This last comment that I read was to
 uncomment the ServerName directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

 If you installed Tomcat4 from the rpm, then go to /var/tomcat4.  Also,
there was a tomcat4 startup script installed in /usr/bin.

 
 Thanks for your help.

 I have successfully gotten Tomcat started under RedHat 7.1, but I cannot
get mod_webapp to work correctly.  The fundamental problem is that the
binary version of mod_webapp was not compiled with the
 options required to run with the Apache installed with RedHat 7.1.  I have
tried compiling from source, but so far that has not been successful.
Basically, you need more that the source provided with
 mod_webapp and even when I downloaded all of the Apache source and tried
to compile, it complained about something broken in the apx directory.

 I hope that those who build mod_webapp will recognize that many of us
using Tomcat are basically Java programmers with stock installations of
Apache.  So we really need a mod_webapp that works with
 these stock distributions.  Also, there seem to be problems with the
directions with regard to updating httpd.conf.  Perhaps these problems are
trivial for Apache experts, but again I do not think that
 servlet progammers necessary fall into this category.

 So if you do manage to get mod_webapp working with out the DEAPI
warning, then please post your success story.

 Happy Holidays to all,
 Cynthia Jeness
