Hello,

I am trying to install tomcat6 on Solaris 8. I
downloaded apache-tomcat-6.0.14-src.tar and untarred
the archive to /usr/local/tomcat6/ 
  



bash$ more catalina.out
Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/s
tartup/Bootstrap


could you please advise?

thanks


  
Sure, the "-src" file is the *source* file of tomcat, those need you to 
compile it and probably run a dist making script included in folder. If 
you just want to install tomcat, download the binary packages.

Make sure you have at least JDK1.5 installed, and that your JAVA_HOME is 
pointing to that JDK.  It looks like you're trying to run Tomcat on a 1.4 JDK.

tomcat 6.x requires JRE/JDK to be at least 5.0...

Cheers,
Kristian

RE: tomcat6 installation

2008-01-09 Thread Melanie Pfefer
thanks a lot. I appreciate your help.

1- how to change the http port number?
2- how to allow a non-root user to start tomcat? Is it
only though file ownership modification (chown -R
/usr/local/tomcat6)?

thanks again.

Look at the various Connector elements in conf/server.xml

Make sure you're not using a port under 1024 on UNIX, or Tomcat will have to 
bind that port as root anyway.

Otherwise, you just need to make sure the non-root user has access to the 
appropriate Java and Tomcat files, yes.  I routinely run Tomcat as a non-root 
user on various Linux systems, just by extracting a copy in my user directory 
and making sure I don't use any privileged ports.
