Gianni, >From my experience:
User tomcat is created for you. Place it in whatever directory makes sense to you.(Keep it simple) Keep the permissions on the tomcat directories tight. Make them only readable by tomcat etc. If you need port 80 and 443 start tomcat as a daemon. For details: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html If not, you can use the startup.sh script in the /bin directory. For details: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/introduction.html If you are going to connect to Apache then build Apache yourself or at minimum add the development rpm, as you will need some components of it (APR) to build the jk2 connector (not included in the standard Apache install on RedHat). Advice: read about connector first, then do installs. For details: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/index.html Have fun!
