Hi Donald, I also build my tomcat from RPM's, also hat no startup or other .sh's.
I got the scripts from the cvs tree but found out later that I don't need them. On redhat 7.1 I can start and stop with 'service tomcat4 start' and 'service tomcat4 stop'. I suppose the .conf file is used for setting JAVA_HOME etc. the rpm's worked (and works) for me , althoug I have to go localhost:8180 HTH Regards, Gerrit Donald Lee wrote: > I went to > http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.0.1/rpms/ > downloaded tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm > installed using rpm -iv tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm > everything appeared to be going ok until I came to the part in the doc > file I found called running.txt > > "execute shell command: > $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh" > > That didn't work. > It turns out my Tomcat installation went to > /var/tomcat4 > which is where I set $CATALINA_HOME to. > I looked in the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory and to my surprise, there > was no startup.sh, only a bootstrap.jar.
