Install the RPM files as root: # rpm --install tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm # rpm --install tomcat4-webapps-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm The first RPM contains the server software, the second contains the applications that are installed by default for the other distribution formats. The installation process will create a new user "tomcat4" to be used for running Tomcat. (It also creates a tomcat4 group.) Then edit /etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf to set JAVA_HOME to the pathname of your Java SDK. Change directory into /etc/rc.d/init.d. You'll find a script "tomcat4" that can control Tomcat's startup at boot time. It needs to be activated: # chkconfig --add tomcat4 If you like, use the tomcat4 script to start up Tomcat manually: # ./tomcat4 start -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
