CD based tomcat (hopefully)
This is probably a daft question to all you experienced tomcat guys, but it's baffled me for a couple of weeks now. I've got Tomcat 4.1.12 installed (on Windows XP Pro) in c:\tomcat, and CATALINA_HOME is set to that in the system environment variables. What I want to do is to make a copy of it on a CD as a known stable environment to demonstrate a university project, and have it so I can just stick the CD in and it starts tomcat and fires up a web browser to my project root (for example, http://localhost:8080/WebApp) The web browser bit isn't much of a problem, but if I make a copy of c:\tomcat in another folder with a startup script that fills in all the details for catalina_home, java_home (also in a subdir) and so on, the tomcat server starts up and then dies without creating a log (or at least, not in the new %catalina_home%\logs folder) Oliver - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: CD based tomcat (hopefully)
Your CATALINA_HOME is path to your tomcat in the cd then if and only if yours CD is a CDR and CD-rom is a cd-writer, otherwise how could tomcat be able to write the logs file?? -Original Message- From: Oliver Rose [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CD based tomcat (hopefully) This is probably a daft question to all you experienced tomcat guys, but it's baffled me for a couple of weeks now.

My bad... I haven't put it on the CD yet, it's living in a directory defined as %cd_tomcat_base% I'd appreciate the help to set the logs dir to a temporary directory though as well. once I've got it configured correctly, I can just write the directory straight to the CD. I currently have a directory structure like this: %cd_tomcat_base%\startup.bat %cd_tomcat_base%\jdk1.4.1-- %java_home% %cd_tomcat_base%\tomcat4.1.12 -- %catalina_home%, %catalina_base% It would go on a closed session CD-R when it's done though, because the university have gone on an archiving binge recently. This way, it'd be a complete running app I can take to any machine and not have to d/l and configure tomcat before a demo. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
