I went to http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/rpms/ downloaded tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm installed using rpm -iv tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm everything appeared to be going ok until I came to the part in the doc file I found called running.txt
"execute shell command: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh" That didn't work. It turns out my Tomcat installation went to /var/tomcat4 which is where I set $CATALINA_HOME to. I looked in the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory and to my surprise, there was no startup.sh, only a bootstrap.jar. I searched my whole system for a startup.sh and could not find one, so I decided that something was dreadfully wrong, and went back to the tomcat site. I went into http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/bin/ this time and downloaded jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.zip I unpacked it and it created it's own directory of jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1. I basically cut and pasted the contents of that directory into my /var/tomcat4 directory and over wrote all directories and files. I then ran $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh and tested my installation with http://localhost:8080 and all appears to be well.I have a question, when I installed the rpm it created a directory etc/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf. As this was not part of my list of installation procedures, can I assume that this directory/file is not needed? I was wondering if I could safely delete this directory or is something left out of the running.txt file? Can anybody tell me what the purpose of the rpms are if they do not properly install tomcat? Thanks, and God Bless and have a happy new year! -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
