Hang on, /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start doesn't work, it just doesn't echo an
explicit fail message.
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not getting set correctly by the
init script for me because:
...
# Look for the right JVM to use
for jdir in $JDK_DIRS; do
if [ -r "$jdir/bin/java" -a -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ]; then
...
ie it checks that $JAVA_HOME is zero length. $JAVA_HOME is getting set
to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_01 somewhere on my machine, I'm not sure why. I am
using the sun JDK from multiverse. This gets passed to tomcat and it
then fails because tomcat needs a JDK not a JRE.
As a workaround I edited the init script (/etc/init.d/tomcat5) replacing
the line:
if [ -r "$jdir/bin/java" -a -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ]; then
with:
if [ -r "$jdir/bin/java" ]; then
Then you can fix the incomplete installation of the package via apt-get
install tomcat5
I've unconfirmed as I'm not sure if this is a bug with tomcat5 or a bug
with whatever is setting JAVA_HOME...
cheers,
