timing is everything when starting - a 32 bit question
I have a rc.local file setup to auto start tomcat and httpd under fedora 18 boot. It works fine on my 64 bit system (and a couple others for a friend) but there MUST BE a sleep before bringing up httpd (for some reason I forgot). start routine in /etc/init.d/rc.local S95tomcat start (sleep 10; S96httpd start) date /tmp/last_start stop routine S96httpd stop S95tomcat stop date /tmp/last_stop # not meaningful unless testing rc.local as boot wipes /tmp for the record S96httpd is a link to /etc/init.d/httpd and S95tomcat is a script I wrote which does some extra things besides calling the official release apache/tomcat up/down scripts I also have a portable 32bit fedora 18 box. After installing all the pieces, I have tomcat/httpd working fine, BUT they WILL NOT START FROM THE BOOT up like the 64 bit systems do. I have tried putting more and longer sleeps in place (before tomcat as well as httpd). All to no avail. BUT WHEN I TYPE IN rc.local start AS ROOT, ALL COMES UP FINE. (after logging into the desktop as me and becoming root with su) in a command tool The only visible difference I have found is in the httpd log Tomcat's failure is lost or I have not found it yet (yes I looked in /var/log/messages where I would expect it). --- so here is the /var/log/httpd/error_log after a boot - not sure if the first two lines are errors, but the third is (timestamps shortened up for this note) [12/15/2013] [core:notice] [pid 1686] SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 [12/15/2013] [suexec:notice] [pid 1686] AH01232: suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [12/15/2013] [jk:emerg] [pid 1686] Error in reading worker properties from '/etc/httpd/conf/workers.properties' AH00016: Configuration Failed - and now for the AFTER I boot and run rc.local start as root - note line 1 has different RUNTIME PERMISSIONS [12/15/2013] [core:notice] [pid 2302] SELinux policy enabled; httpd running as context unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 [12/15/2013] [suexec:notice] [pid 2302] AH01232: suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [12/15/2013] [auth_digest:notice] [pid 2303] AH01757: generating secret for digest authentication ...

linking (limiting???)
I am a Linux user and love linking things to reduce copies. Apache/Tomcat (by default) does not allow symbolic linking (nice as it can cross mounted file systems) except in the top apache/lib directory. I use hard links in the Application/WEB-INF/lib directories to reduce copying and help me manage things. HOWEVER, some applications have special needs - e.g. pictures. You don't want to always distribute these with the release of the application (Application.war file), so symbolic links are the way to go (except for MS land, sorry). The nice solution to this is: .../webapps/Application/WEB-INF/context.xml which must contain at least the two below lines: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? Context allowLinking=true /Context However this allows ALL symbolic linking in the Application directory. I agree with the developers that this is dangerous. Is there some way to allow linking in just ONE sub-directory of the Application?? - e.g. .../webapps/Application/images This would allow all I need to have local images for the application without endangering other things using a symbolic link.
slim and trim tomcat - which java is needed
I have discovered that under the conf/localhost and webapps directories, all of the release directories and xml files can be removed, leaving just the application(s) you want running. I could b wrong but I think this also closes some possible security issues, besides keeping a smart-cookie from playing with the examples ... However I am totally unclear which (if any) java pieces need to be on a distribution machine. Obviously a source machine needs the Java JDK. On a distribution machine, apache compiles JSP code initially so it needs something. One person told me the JRE should be enough, but another said that Apache/Tomcat actually comes with it's own compiler, and yet another says to have the JDK. On my Fedora-18 distribution (before I put in the JDK), there is at least one java compiler (/etc/alternatives/javac). So do we need the JRE or the JDK or can Tomcat work without either on a non-sofware development box???

Re: timing is everything when starting - a 32 bit question
Some inline and some at the end: Note, this is almost all off-topic, since it concerns system administration and not Tomcat. Note, I'm also comparing this to Fedora 19.

OK, so the following is an outline of how I would run Tomcat as a service on Fedora. Since around Fedora 16, Fedora has been moving to systemd instead of the old System V init scripts. You should no longer use the init method of starting a new service. Instead, use a systemd file to control services. For Tomcat, this means one of two things: 1. Use jsvc and wrap that startup script in a systemd service file 2. Write your own init.d script and wrap it in a systemd service file My approach would be the following: 1. Create an unprivileged user to run Tomcat 2. Install Tomcat from

Re: timing is everything when starting - a 32 bit question
OK, the init.d script was probably very old and it looks like I need to learn systemd control. Did not check apache/logs as there was no sign the script ran, thanks will look there too. yes built and installed mod_jk - the app works fine when I do get it going, yes running SELinux so - time to dig into systemd scripts (after working with Unix BSD and Sys5 for years, I guess I am too used to doing things the old way. argh!!! My approach would be the following: 1. Create an unprivileged user to run Tomcat 2. Install Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org for this user 3. Create a systemv init script - use tomcat-systemv contents as a guide 4. Wrap the init script in a service file. 5. Use systemctl enable or disable as other systemd services The init script for Tomcat is pretty ugly - mine's around 575 lines for Tomcat 6 or 7 and CentOS 6.5. The scripts are pretty defensive, which accounts for most of the length. 1-3 are DONE. Yes my script is not quite that long but it is VERY defensive. Time to wrap it in systemd and learn that. Thanks for the pointers.
