RE: Newbie installation question
agree with the other posts that installing the binary version of Tomcat might be a good idea. That way you can be sure of where everything is. the /etc/init.d/tomcat4.start file may be misconfigured. You might be better off running the catalina script directly, as you could see any errors right away. Normally this would be $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh, and it should be run like this to start tomcat: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start or $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run (using the run parameter may give you more error messages) to stop tomcat: $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh You can use the actual path rather than $CATALINA_HOME, in your case this might be: /var/tomcat4/bin/catalina.sh I added the following line to /etc/profile PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/bin I can type java -version or javac -help from anywhere and get meaningful responses so I guess that means the path setting is OK. I don't use startup.sh as that file didn't seem to exist(?). I do tomcat4 start from the /etc/init.d folder.

Re: Newbie installation question
Zoe, I've read a number of the replies to your question. I think I would recommend ditching the RPM installation and simply downloading the binary distribution from Jakarta. When you gunzip and untar the files, everything will be in one directory and should use the default 8080 port. You might need to set CATALINA_HOME, but I think thats everything, certainly there is no user creation required. The log files will appear in the log directory which might give you more information. Since finding the correct port seems to be a problem, you could also try netstat -a which will tell you what ports are in use.

I think I would recommend ditching the RPM installation and simply downloading the binary distribution from Jakarta. When you gunzip and untar the files, everything will be in one directory and should use the default 8080 port. You might need to set CATALINA_HOME, but I think thats everything, certainly there is no user creation required. The log files will appear in the log directory which might give you more information. Since finding the correct port seems to be a problem, you could also try netstat -a which will tell you what ports are in use. Hope that helps, Barry Zoe Adams wrote: Hi, This is a very newbie question I'm afraid. I have attempted to install a standalone Tomcat 4 as an RPM under RedHat Linux 7.1 but just can't get it to work. These are the steps I've followed: - Installed jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm - Installed regexp-1.2-1.noarch.rpm - Installed servletapi4-4.0.2-3.noarch.rpm - Installed xerces-j-1.4.4-2.noarch.rpm - Installed tomcat4-4.0.2-3.noarch.rpm - Set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02 in /etc/tomcat4/conftomcat4.conf - Set CATALINA_HOME=/var/tomcat4 in /etc/profile I then go into /etc/init.d and type tomcat4 start and I see the following: Using CATALINA_BASE: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_HOME: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/tomcat4/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02 But if I try to browse to http://localhost:8180 http://localhost:8180/ I get the message could not connect to host localhost (port 8180). Where am I going wrong? I have read the documentation but am still none the wiser. I've installed Tomcat4 under Windows and it all went without a hitch, but Linux has me stumped. If anyone can offer any suggestions or point me to some good online help, then I'd be very grateful.

RE: Newbie installation question (rpm version _IS_ broken)
Hi all. Sorry to be a latecomer to all this. Zoe, I also thought that the rpm install would be a cleaner install. It doesn't look like that will work. I had tomcat4.0.1 working at one time on another linux machine. But this newer version doesn't seem to work. All the work you did was a valid effort. I tried the same got no love. If I find anything out I'll definitely pass it to you and the rest of the list.. if not. I'll install ANT and install the cleaner way. good luck. verg.

And I thought I was keeping things nice and clean by going down the RPM route! Thanks for everyone's help.
