The error "Web-application not yet deployed" is a weird and wacky one. It seems to come and go. If you restart rather than stop and start Apache at the command line, it seems to manifest itself. It sometimes disappears of its own accord with no intervention from me!
As I understand it, it's caused by Apache starting before TomCat has fully loaded. But this wouldn't explain its weird behaviour. I think it's a known bug that's "fixed" in TC 4.0.1 My rc script starts both TomCat and Apache (i.e. not separate scripts) with a sleep 10 between the commands. This "appears" to work but who knows :) I don't think further separating the scripts (i.e. S2 and S99) would make much difference in terms of time.

My problem is that it doesn't seem to be able to make a connection when httpd is started at boot time. I'm using RedHat 7.0 and I've written init.d scripts for both Tomcat 4.0.1 and Apache 1.3.19 (both installed manually rather than from RPMs). Tomcat starts before Apache (Tomcat is S80 and Apache is S89). Both seem to be starting correctly and both can be accessed directly from their respective ports. The problem is that the Apache error_log has a string of entries like this... [Thu Feb 7 10:20:24 2002] [error] Connection "conn" cannot connect [Thu Feb 7 10:20:24 2002] [error] Cannot open connection "conn" ... and when I try to access a jsp from one of the contexts defined by WebAppDeploy in Apache, I get a "WebApp: Error 404 (File: wa_request.c Line: 198) Web-application not yet deployed" page, and an entry in the log like this one... [Thu Feb 7 10:20:42 2002] [error] Web-application not yet deployed Interestingly, viewing the source of this error page gives me the html that should be produced by the jsp application I was trying to access!! Restarting my web server seems to correct this problem. The connection is made and my jsp files are accessible as I would expect. This indicates to me that my configuration is essentially correct, but something is preventing the connection from being made at boot time. Could Tomcat not be fully loaded when Apache is trying to start? Should I put more space between the init.d scripts? Are there other daemons that need to be started in order for webapp to deploy? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cindy By the way, mod_webapp is version 1.0.1 built from source with -DEAPI. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
