Hi All,

This is my first post to this list, so I hope I get it right. I'm new to both Unix and freeBSD and I've been doing my first steps for three days now. I was able to install Java and Tomcat 6, because these products are part of the ports directory. However I'd prefer Tomcat 7, so I got the tomcat7.tar.gz and extracted the files to /usr/ports/www/tomcat7.

The I tried the following and got the message:

# pwd
/usr/ports/www/tomcat7
# make install clean
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  License accepted by the user
=> apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz is not in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo.
=> Either /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo is out of date, or
=> apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7.


To be honest, I don't understand that message. That file apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz can't be in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo, because distinfo is a file and not a directory. What went wrong? I got the missing file, however where is it supposed to be?

Thanks for help,

        AndyJ
