installing tomcat7-admin --- I have not /etc/tomcat7 directory
I am running on crunchbang Linux, a derivative of Debian Linux, and I use apt-get to install most packages. However, I am in the process of upgrading from tomcat6 to tomcat7 and I have a problem because tomcat7 is not available for download with the crunchbang distribution. When tomcat6-admin was installed with apt-get, the /etc/tomcat6 directory got populated for me. I downloaded tomcat7 as a compressed tar file from apache and installed it. The Tomcat7 daemon is running. But right now, non of my web applications can be accessed from my browser and there is no /etc/tomcat7 directory to control the local configuration. I will look at the web application failure at a later time. For now, I would like to get the tomcat web manager running but I need a /etc/tomcat7 directory set up properly. It looks like it should be created when the tomcat7-admin package is installed. But I cannot find any documentation about installing tomcat7-admin. I have scanned through the tomcat7 doc website and have not been able to find the installation instructions I'm looking for. Can someone either point me to the instructions I would need to install tomcat7-admin? Regards, Jim Anderson

From: Jim Anderson [mailto:jim_ander...@jjajava.com] Subject: installing tomcat7-admin --- I have not /etc/tomcat7 directory I have a problem because tomcat7 is not available for download with the crunchbang distribution. You would need to discuss on whatever support mechanism is available for crunchbang. When tomcat6-admin was installed with apt-get, the /etc/tomcat6 directory got populated for me. That is a characteristic of the particular repackaged Tomcat you were using, not of any standard Tomcat distribution. there is no /etc/tomcat7 directory to control the local configuration. No such directory exists in a standard Tomcat distribution. For now, I would like to get the tomcat web manager running but I need a /etc/tomcat7 directory set up properly. No, you don't need any such directory. You do need to look at the Tomcat manager documentation: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html It looks like it should be created when the tomcat7-admin package is installed. Again, that is not part of a standard Tomcat distribution. But I cannot find any documentation about installing tomcat7-admin. Because it's an aspect of the 3rd-party repackaging of Tomcat, not of a real Tomcat. The 3rd-party repackaged versions tend to scatter files all over the place, disregarding the proper Tomcat setup. Stick with the standard Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org, read the docs for the level you chose, and have a look at the FAQ/Wiki. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

No you don't :-) A standard Tomcat installation doesn't (thankfully!) splatter parts of the app all over the place, Debian-style. Take a closer look at what you installed; everything you need to run Tomcat, including the manager app, is right there already. -- Hassan Schroeder hassan.schroe...@gmail.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan
Re: installing tomcat7-admin --- I have not /etc/tomcat7 directory
Chuck and Hassan, Thank you for your replies. Obviously, I did not realize that /etc/tomcat6 is an artifact of the crunchbang distribution. However, I actually did use the standard tomcat7 distribution prior to sending in my help request. I have now read the directions and they were very helpful. I got tomcat7 working with no trouble at all in a short amount of time. Lets just say I was misled by the tomcat6 distribution from Crunchbang. In some ways, I do not like some of their restructuring, but in all honesty, they do a great job of distribution and support. I love their version of Linux because they use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!) principle. Anyway, you help not only resolved my tomcat7 problem. But now that I have tomcat7 working, my problems with Struts 2 in tomcat (struts 2 was crashing in my linux environment) is also resolved, so now I can get back to my software development. A big thanks to you and to Hassan for taking the time to help me out Regards, Jim On 07/12/2014 03:13 PM, Caldarale, Charles R wrote: From: Jim Anderson [mailto:jim_ander...@jjajava.com] Subject: installing tomcat7-admin --- I have not /etc/tomcat7 directory I have a problem because tomcat7 is not available for download with the crunchbang distribution.

How to search SVN Log Messages for Apache Tomcat VCS Repository
The link to the web view of the Apache Tomcat SVN is: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/ A Revision consists of four attributes: Revision ID, Timestamp, Author userid and a free-form text log message My question is How can I search (online, web-search) SVN Log Messages for Apache Tomcat VCS Repository.

Question regarding usage of Logging Level
Apache uses a logging utility. The logging utility consists of several levels such as: TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL. Which logging level to use (and also when to use) depends on the level/severity of the event (which needs to be tracked/logged). My question is: 1. Are there situations when logging is not used when it is supposed to be used and vice-versa. 2. Are there situations when incorrect logging level is used? An SVN-commit/code-change (or perhaps sometimes a bug report is filed) is then done to fix the issue. For example (a concrete example). A recent bug report: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56546 has a developer comment “Reduce the log level for stack trace message from log.error() to log.info(). In the current code there are two log.error() messages at once, which looks like overkill.” This comment shows that logging was used incorrectly.
