This reminds me. The current tomcat 4 RPMs were made prior to the attempt to move towards FHS-ness (I think) and have conf, logs, etc. underneath /var/tomcat4. Henri, are you planning on fixing that for the tomcat 4.0.4/4.1.x RPMs? I can offer some RPM assistance if you need it (or just another set of eyes). Thanks, Jason

Ditto, FHS recommand /var/log/tomcat4 But since you're adjusting the normal location, I'm sure you known what you do ;] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
