RE: Auto start scripts
Thanks. I tried to to find the 4.1.24 RPM under http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/ but this redirects me to http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi which offers 4.1.29 and no RPM. Where should I really be looking?

RE: Auto start scripts
Howdy, RPMs are not packaged on the jakarta site for tomcat. They're done by external parties on their sites.

Where should I really be looking? Robin, I don't think you really need to have tomcat installed by rpm just to get the daemon working. From what I have managed to work out by a quick look today, if you want to run tomcat as a non-root user, and you want tomcat 4, you have to do some extra steps because it won't bind to port 80 unless it's running as root. Check out the thread mentioned in the tomcat website: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/security.html#root Adam -- struts 1.1 + tomcat 5.0.14 + java 1.4.2 Linux 2.4.20 RH9 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
