I installed the RPM's on RH 7.2, and everything worked ok. One problem I have seen is that the documentation rpm doesn't contain what it is supposed to...
Starting and stopping Tomcat using service tomcat4 start/stop/restart works out of the box after installing the rpms. Remember that the Linux version of Tomcat 4.0.1 listens on port 8180 - thats why connecting to port 8080 gives no response. -- Regards, ToreS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Millson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 10, 2002 6:17 PM Subject: RE: Tomcat 4.0.1 rpm install - test fails?? > I initially tried to install it using the rpms and got the same result as > you - it didn't work.
