To me, the obvious answer is that your old version of Tomcat is still running.
To kill a process that won't die, use `kill -9 [PID]`. -9 is the "strongest" kill signal you can send. The kernel won't let the process ignore or catch the signal. What I would do, though, is remove your old Tomcat installation entirely, and move the new one into the old one's location. It can't run if it's not there. :-) -Jake Michael Harrison wrote: > I'm running (or trying to) Tomcat 4.0.6 on RedHat 8.0 for PC. I installed > Tomcat from a binary (ie.
