RE: tomcat on a home machine???
This is a network issue more than a software issue. The Tomcat installation is no different with permanent or dialup connections, however your IP address will likely change every time you dial (as most ISP's use DHCP). Thus it will be impossible to resolve a domain name to the IP address of your server from the public internet, as it will change every time you dial. You will still be able to access your home page on your local machine (http://localhost:8080/ by default) but it will only be accessible on the Net by using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/ where the x's are whatever dynamic IP address you have been assigned that time. Of course, if your ISP offers you a fixed IP address, you can get a domain to resolve to that fixed address and your problems are solved. Obviously, the server will only be available to the public when you are dialled up.

Re: tomcat on a home machine???
I should add that I wanted to know if it is possible to install and use tomcat for test purposes. That is to develop and test programs at home and not make them available on the internet - not at least from my home machine. T:Irvine ps which faq did you mean - there seem to be so many. I'll A keep searching though.

There doesn't need to be any connection to the internet other than to download all the stuff you need (Tomcat, Java, that sort of thing). I have Tomcat installed on a linux machine at home without any problems. Setup could be easier, but its not a difficult task either. I created a startup script for rc.d/init.d so that it would startup automatically. Good luck. I believe the license allows you to do pretty much whatever you want with Tomcat. -- D. Jay Newman !

Re: tomcat on a home machine???
I installed j2sdk-1.2.2 and jakarta-tomcat-4.0 this morning. I set JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME in my /etc/profile started tomcat by executing /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/bin/start and all seemed to go O.K. I fired up x window and was naive to believe that I could just enter http://localhost:8080 in the location bar of netscape and be able to see the tomcat homepage. It didn't work and I started to wonder whether what I wanted to do was possible and if so how. Maybe some files defining localhost are not quite as they should be. > Good luck. Thanks I may need it :) T:Irvine On Wed, 27 Jun 2001, D. Jay Newman wrote: > > I should add that I wanted to know if it is > > possible to install and use tomcat for test > > purposes.

[ ... ] Well then you should be able to use localhost as the machine name in the URL regardless of whether your machine is connected to the network. > On Wed, 27 Jun 2001, Charan Kishore Singla wrote: > > > yah you can, read faq file related to tomcat, all things would be clear. > > > > Thanks > > - Original Message - > > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2001 1:38 PM > > Subject: tomcat on a home machine??? > > > > > > > Hello > > > > > > I have linux installed at home and have only a > > > modem connecting me to the internet through a > > > local service provider. > > > > > > My questions are: > > > > > > Is it possible for me to install and use tomcat > > > without a permenant connection. > > > > > > If it is possible what files would need to be > > > configured to allow me to do so. > > > > > > What url would I need to call to access tomcat's > > > homepage. > > > > > > Apologies if this question has been asked b4. > > > > > > T:Irvine > > > Milt Epstein Research Programmer Software/Systems Development Group Computing and Communications Services Office (CCSO) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: tomcat on a home machine???
You need a java jdk and tomcat. Have a look at this page for setup info on windows2000 and linux. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/03/29/tomcat.html Then goto http://localhost:8080/ once tomcat is running.

If you can enter a url of 127.0.0.1 and get what you expect to see then you can map it to "localhost" in the table. If not, then your network layer would seem to be hosed.

Re: tomcat on a home machine??? < THANX >
Thanx to all who replied. After I got home I fired up linux, tomcat, and netscape; entered http://localhost:8080 in the location box and everything worked fine. What I did wrong this morning I do not. Anyway, thanx again T:Irvine
