Usually when we move Tomcat to a new Windows machine, we just use that same executable zip (jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27.exe) to install Tomcat on the new machine, and then copy over our directories from the original machine to replace the Tomcat directory that got created. I know this might be a really dumb question, but will that .exe file run and install everything on the Linux box, or will I have to use jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27.zip and extract everything? It's all slowly and hazily making sense...I hope...on Red Hat I won't have to "install" it quite as "much" as Windows which needs to put things into the registries, etc, right? So I just extract it and put some kind of symbolic link to the Tomcat executable in usr/local/bin or something like that, huh? But will that be enough to mimic the functionality we usually have, since typically on Windows we run it as a service? Sorry for my rambling... ----- Original message ----- From: "Robert F.

We have the same Tomcat install running on Solaris, Linux, and Windoze. -Robert Stephen Charles Huey wrote: >We're moving Tomcat over to a Linux box, and we're under pressure to get >it done as quickly as possible and put it into production right away >even though none of us knows Linux all that well beyond me using Solaris >back in my school days!
