This is a Linux distro that runs from CD, and sets up RAM disk for write operations. I've always wanted to set up Tomcat on Knoppix. All you need to do is get Tomcat to use the file path that maps to the RAM disk for logs etc. Regards, Jon. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: running tomcat from CD
Howdy, Note, however, that all FileLoggers have a configurable directory. The workDir for host and context is configurable as well. The system.out/system.err destination is set to $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out in $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh and can be changed at will. So a more accurate answer might be: - You need to modify the above in your server.xml and catalina.sh before burning your copy of tomcat to CD - Whatever directory you use for your logs and workDir (which is required by the servlet spec, as I said earlier) needs to be off the CD-ROM, but accessible and writeable.

RE: running tomcat from CD
Clarify 'completely'. If you have no access to writable disk you'll be unable to produce logs or persist context data under ./work. I suppose that you could do some fancy stuff with a RAMdisk, assuming that you are running on an OS that supports this. With an out of the box binary set you wouldn't be successful...catalina.sh will fail when it can't create ./logs/catalina.out. -chris > -Original Message- > From: samckins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 9:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: running tomcat from CD > > > > Is there a way to run Tomcat completely off of a CD-ROM? > > Thanks > Scott > > - > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The concept says, that there should be some autostart-action when putting the CD into the CD-player, but I don't think, that I will find a solution doing that for all platforms with the same procedure, so I hope I could let the user make the choice. In real life 98% of the possible users have MS Windows running, so may be we only promote the windows-cd-autostart and let the other users starting the system manually. > (I'm busy with industrial automation at factories now-a-days, and have no > access to a real Tomcat system or code, sorry...) No problem! I'm happy to have some days to think about all of that, without time-pressure. Thanx for your constructive answer!
