What is the problem you are having? The process "should be" simple :) - install jdk - install tomcat - set JAVA_HOME - set CATALINA_HOME - start catalina You may have some rights issues, depending upon who creates the catalina work folder, and starts catalina. As a former CF-er, you should figure out how to do this, the logging alone is worth it. ;-) Larry

We're having one heck of a time figuring out how to correctly install the Tomcat 4.1 (or determining if we should) on Linux, just to get a taste of JSP in order to decide if we want to give up on Cold Fusion and go JSP. I have a feeling some things have changed in the transition from the 3.n's to the 4.n's. The usual stuff...it almost works, installed from rpms on RedHat 7.1 with J2SDK 1.4.1...but then doesn't quite. I know it's a config issue (beyond just JAVA_HOME) and think it probably has much to do with 'this doesn't work so hot with that.' Is there a 'go here, get this, go there get that, set these variables, and you'll be golden' document squirreled away somewhere on jakarta.apache.org? Or should I really be installing some other, earlier, JSDK and an earlier version of Tomcat in order to be squarely in the mainstream and to make use of the contents of the books on Border's bookshelves :-) I *DO* have a copy of JRun sitting around here, and I know that will just pop on and go, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of getting further towards Open Source Nirvana...
