OK, well I haven't created a TOMCAT_USER user, so maybe that's where I'm going wrong. I'll have to enlist someone else's help there as I'm a Linux newbie as well as a Tomcat newbie!
And to answer Gareth's question, ps -aux doesn't show Tomcat even though I have started it. -----Original Message----- From: Wagoner, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 March 2002 21:08 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Newbie installation question The script file sets a TOMCAT_USER environment variable (I think it is called). Check to make sure you have created this user and he has the necessary permissions. Unfortunately, I'm not at my Linux machine right now so I can't give you any specifics. -----Original Message----- From: Zoe Adams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 4:04 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Newbie installation question No mention of java in the list that comes up.

In /var/tomcat4/conf/server.xml it has port 8180 as an attribute in the <connector> tag. Port 8080 isn't mentioned anywhere. -----Original Message----- From: Lawrence, Gareth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 March 2002 20:46 To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Newbie installation question Zoe, The default port is 8080 :-) Check out localhost:8080 and let us know if your still getting a problem.

I have attempted to install a standalone Tomcat 4 as an RPM under RedHat Linux 7.1 but just can't get it to work. These are the steps I've followed: - Installed jdk-1.3.1_02.i386.rpm - Installed regexp-1.2-1.noarch.rpm - Installed servletapi4-4.0.2-3.noarch.rpm - Installed xerces-j-1.4.4-2.noarch.rpm - Installed tomcat4-4.0.2-3.noarch.rpm - Set JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02" in /etc/tomcat4/conftomcat4.conf - Set CATALINA_HOME="/var/tomcat4" in /etc/profile I then go into /etc/init.d and type "tomcat4 start" and I see the following: Using CATALINA_BASE: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_HOME: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/tomcat4/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02 But if I try to browse to http://localhost:8180 <http://localhost:8180/> I get the message "could not connect to host localhost (port 8180)". Where am I going wrong? I have read the documentation but am still none the wiser. I've installed Tomcat4 under Windows and it all went without a hitch, but Linux has me stumped. If anyone can offer any suggestions or point me to some good online help, then I'd be very grateful.
