We talked about Tomcat & HP-UX a while ago and I was advised that I didn't have to wait for HP to get around to providing a version of Tomcat 4, that I should be able to grab one from the site and unzip it. So we've installed the Apache/Tomcat bundle provided by HP [Apache 2.0.39.05.03 and Tomcat 3.3.1] which works fine, and will now attempt to replace the version of Tomcat they provided with 4.1.12.
I was able to gunzip the jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12-LE-jdk14.tar.gz file, but tar -xvf failed. I see that there's a note about Solaris and Mac OS X not having the right version of tar, and I wonder if HP-UX is in the same situation: [lots snipped] /webapp/admin/valve/De, 3889 bytes, 8 tape blocks tar: creating as regular file. x ././@LongLink, 118 bytes, 1 tape blocks directory checksum error So I started over, unzipped the whole thing on Windows 2000 and WS-FTP'd it up to the HP box. Everything is owned by root, I'm running this as root [just testing!] and I get: # ./startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /opt/java1.4 # That's all. Nothing in the log directory, no other messages on the console. Everywhere else I've installed [unzipped!] Tomcat, it has just worked immediately, so I'm not too sure where to go looking for problems. I don't have any error messages to search the archives for, either. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University PA Information Resources Management
