> What am I doing wrong? Using an RPM. I have several servers running Redhat 8.0 and Tomcat (4.1.24 and 5.07) and it is a breeze to setup using a tarball (e.g. jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24.tar.gz). Just copy it to /usr/local (or whereever you want) and type "tar xvfz jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24.tar.gz" and you have installed it. Whenever I have tried the RPM approach (and looking at the submitted problems in the list I am not the only one) I have had problem. At least for tomcat (or Apache), I recommend staying away from the RPM distributions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
