Tomcat on OS X

[Werner van Mook]

Hi all,

I know this has to be asked before.
I can't browse the mail history.
I want to automatically let tomcat start when starting my mac.
I created a Tomcat directory in StartupItems in /Library.
In this dir I created 2 files :
StartupParameters.plist
{
  Description     = "Tomcat web server";
  Provides        = ("Web Container");
  Requires        = ("DirectoryServices");
  Uses            = ("Disks", "NFS");
  OrderPreference = "None";
}
and a Tomcat file

#!/bin/sh

##
# Tomcat Web Server
##
. /etc/rc.common

StartService ()
{
    if [ "${TOMCAT:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
        ConsoleMessage "Starting Jakarta Tomcat"
        sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh &
    fi
}
StopService ()
{
    ConsoleMessage "Stopping Jakarta Tomcat"
    sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
}
RestartService ()
{
    if [ "${TOMCAT:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ];then
        ConsoleMessage "Restarting Jakarta Tomcat"
        StopService
        StartService
    else
        StopService
    fi
}
RunService "$1"



in /etc/hostconfig I added at the bottom of the file :

Tomcat=-YES-

All files are owned by root.

When I restart my computer I get a message that tomcat is starting.

When my computer is completely booted I start Safari (or any other 
browser)
and surf to http://localhost.

I get the message that the server is not available......

When doing startup.sh in a terminal window (I included the bin dir in 
my path)
and opening the catalina.out file I see a error message saying that I 
do not have
the permission to open port 80.

When I do startup.sh as root there is no problem.

I think that it will not start automatically because there is a 
permission problem.
But I can't find any log message that says so.

So who can shine his clever light on this?
