have u done a find from the / directory ? Failing that, are you sure that its a complete release of tomcat as it should contain a startup.sh
Also, have you tried installing an ordainary tar file rather than an rpm ? I have to tomcat version 4.1.18 installed and running. I just downloaded the tarfile and extracted it to a directory called /apps. The startup.sh should be in /tomcat/bin U can create a user called tomcat and put the JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME/CATALINA_HOME vars in the .profile for that user if you're not running it as root or put it in roots profile if you are. There should definitely be a startup.sh so check the its not an incomplete rpm At Wed, 28 May 2003 16:39:10 -0700, you wrote: >I have version tomcat4-4.1.12-full installed and I have never seen the >startup.sh script.
