I'm really struggling to install tomcat on FreeBSD 4.2 running in linux compat mode. I've *managed* to install jdk1.3, after changing one of the confs (I think) to point the wrapper the linux compat dir (instead of the native linux) - this was without the understanding of what I was doing, just following instructions someone sent me through a newsgroup. jdk runs ok now - compiles and runs java's. I've *installed* tomcat, (downloaded from jakarta.apache.com) and it starts ok, but will not pickup http requests on the default 8080 and when I shut it down, a hotspot error comes up (can't remember - at work now, freebsd machine at home). I've tried installing the tomcat port from a freshly installed collection I downloaded from the ftp.freebsd server, but when trying to make and download the jdk, it timed out. When I tried to run make again, a crc error or something simmilar was reported and the make aborted. I can't restart the install, when re-running make, the download wil not restart, and I can't find where make partially loaded the file... I'm relatively new to UNIX, so I'm only doing what I can find and read, sometimes without understanding what it is exactly that I'm doing. If you could give me some advice how I could get tomcat running (jdk1.3 seems to work ok) or point me in the right direction, list points to watch out for, etc - I would be very very greatful. I've had advice saying I should install jdk 1.1.8, rather than 1.3, but how would I un-install the 1.3 jdk? Also I've noticed Sun has 1.3.0.01 out, should I install that instead? Also, if anyone can either point me to a guide on installing patches (diff files), or tell me how to integrate them, I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance!
