Hi. 1) If you want a package usable with the RedHat package management tools, then you are stuck with whatever versions RedHat makes available for your version of RHEL. (And they are always a few versions behind the latest available Tomcat). 2) Otherwise, you can download the latest Tomcat version from the official Tomcat website at http://tomcat.apache.org, and install it following the instructions found on that same website. (And you should anyway first install a reasonable Java JVM 1.6 before Tomcat; usually people here do not consider the OpenJDK JVM as reasonable for Tomcat). The advantage of option (2) is that you have the latest bestest Tomcat, and that it will be easier for people on this forum to help you with it, because it installs Tomcat and Tomcat files is a known location and configuration. A disadvantage of option (2) may be that your sysadmins will probably not support it, as it is not the official RHEL version which they know and love. Another disadvantage, is that you will probably have to create yourself the system startup/stop scripts for your Tomcat server, if you intend to run it as a daemon. A disadvantage of option (1), is that these packages usually put the Tomcat files all over the place, with millions of symlinks to tie it all together again. So if you have a problem, it is more difficult for people here to figure out what happens. But then of course there is always the RedHat hotline.. My own subjective (but practical) recommendation : If you are knowledgeable about your OS, system startup scripts etc.., then use the latest version from the Tomcat website. (Tomcat by itself is not complicated to install and run, but it is these surrounding system aspects that will give you work). If not, then use the RedHat packaged version if you can live with it, because it will install out of the box. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Chuck, a bit off-topic, but since we might have to choose the next few months which JVM to use on Intel/Linux, I am interested in why you think the OpenJDK is pretty awful ? regards, Harry 2010/3/30 Caldarale, Charles R chuck.caldar...@unisys.com From: André Warnier [mailto:a...@ice-sa.com] Subject: Re: Fwd: How to install tomcat 6.0.X in IBM P series box running with RHEL 5 (And you should anyway first install a reasonable Java JVM 1.6 before Tomcat; usually people here do not consider the OpenJDK JVM as reasonable for Tomcat).

Read the message again; I said OpenJDK is probably ok, and that the GNU JVM is pretty awful. Search the archives for the numerous reports of any serious application (such as Tomcat) failing miserably on the GNU JVM, but working fine on a real JVM. OpenJDK is (or at least was) pretty much the same as the Sun HotSpot JVM, but with some packages replaced or omitted due to licensing issues. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
