I am trying to install either the binary or source versions of Tomcat (version 4.0.1) on a Redhat (7.1) system. After following the instructions included with the binary distribution, I tried to start the server like this:
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh Doing a "ps" immediately after running the above command shows a bunch of processes like this one: ps -auxwww | fgrep jakarta root 2645 0.0 7.0 178312 8868 pts/2 S 13:15 0:00 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/i386/native_threads/java -classpath /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/lib/tools.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start However, all of these process die after a few seconds. After digging through the shell scripts in $CATALINA_HOME/bin, I have found that I can also try to start the server in the current window like this: root@red# $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run Using CLASSPATH: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/lib/tools.jar Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01 /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1/bin/catalina.sh: line 234: 2653 Segmentation fault $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $CATALINA_OPTS -classpath $CP -Dcatalina.base=$CATALINA_BASE -Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start root@red# Notice the Segmentation fault. A third method I have experimented with is debug mode: root@red# $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run > run This mode brings the server all the way up and I am finally able to connect to the server through a web browser like this: http://localhost:8080/ Can anyone shed any light on what might be going wrong? I then tried downloading and building the tomcat source distribution. The instructions didn't say anything about it but after trial and error I found that you also have to install the apache-devel rpm in order to build tomcat from source. Both the "./configure --with-apxs" and the "make" steps completed without errors. I then copied the newly created mod_webapp.so file to /usr/local/apache/libexec directory. When I test the httpd.conf file, I get this error: root@red# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl configtest Syntax error on line 236 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_webapp.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_webapp.so: undefined symbol: ap_ctx_get Is this a bug in the distribution or the documentation? What am I missing? I have these environment variable set: Set these environment variables: setenv JAVA_HOME /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01 setenv ANT_HOME /usr/local/jakarta-ant-1.4.1 setenv CATALINA_HOME /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 HELP! -- Wes Barris E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WesBarris dot Com USA Fax: 413-375-0210 Phone in AUS: 07-3876-2301 www.wesbarris.com Phone from USA: 001-617-3876-2301 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's fortune: Some people never learn anything because they understand everything too soon. -- Alexander Pope
