Probably so, especially because it was a minor version upgrade. >> Tomcat needs allowLinking to be correctly set if that path to a >> web application (or the web application itself) uses symlinks.

If it's not okay, then complain to the package manager that they have broken their own package :) (And the package manager happens to be reading this thread, so you should be good, here.) >>> # In new-style instances, if CATALINA_BASE isn't specified, it >>> will # be constructed by joining TOMCATS_BASE and NAME. >> >> Those last two variables are package specific. > > What is a 'package' in this context? A Tomcat application? Mark was referring to the Tomcat "package" as packaged by the package manager (e.g. yum). In this case, Tomcat itself doesn't do anything with environment variables called TOMCAT_HOME or NAME. Tomcat only cares about CATALINA_BASE (where instance-specific configuration and webapps are kept) and CATALINA_HOME (which is where the base Tomcat files can be found). >> The Tomcat logs should at least tell you what - if anything - >> Tomcat is deploying. > > If I can make sense of them... > >> There is no one 'right' way to install Tomcat.

Building Tomcat from source is a waste of your time: the official packages (both from ASF and from Red Hat) have all been built for you and are environment agnostic. I would never recommend that anyone build Tomcat themselves unless they are trying to hack on it for their own needs. Let's try this: 1. Stop Tomcat and remove all log files (or push them somewhere else out of the way) 2. Launch Tomcat (and please tell us how you do that) 3. Make a single request that returns 404 but should not 4. Stop Tomcat 5. Post the contents of logs/catalina.out to the list Please remove any secrets that might be in that file (the only secrets that might be in there would be coming from your application). I saw your log file snippets, but there might be something you missed (since the log was incomplete). I've used Apache Cocoon with Tomcat 4.x and later and haven't had any problems like you describe. I suspect this is a simple configuration problem that we can help you get corrected. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZd5VXAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRY0i8QAKdDAO9Dx+ilxET2wuRNiJCy IQkjVcc1T5GPxNWpdIJIA/i8+5lhsUT6+BJy77hEsIjAfeGIAXbywylMUAv/i/Oo Ixgwb+NkzZ38dW14b8Y+QmtJ2qP/aM9q1TvlxS9/AxIk+sT7dl6jQucZsYM1NqSI HgGwqXtgvs3Rzzcq+0SNqDrDVsEW486cCFqnw8pboCYAGzUkpLY2zOApjQLD30cR U7DrGgYNzThcXngusKFuK2AWU6DDx0mIkKFxArtXWLFJr0prk4pM+BWdXQH8FGac kdX/pu7ryaCjeQ/QztWGHsA4W9CplRlCTxhWRIQwiY86auwYGis55yVZ1jzuXGdi IY17e3Sdnmo8GFjfTaUSxJIpquRW/+GqApe/yia2vL1Vr6Pbztu/7IMxEw13iHfF eyvY9haDBFrdrvINBtAj8FW5K8WL41PAaHsXV5R67nMyx2yQ0Nd/G/aXFikrqn4R T8tQNfyTt2ZaExsySU4oNSpejSjAolRX8AqvS7/aexEN+zRC3MePNOgS6AuuxBEe 7LIe3Si0JW7+2gYShgCYMPSK5w7fJzGJrHqbTlJPlqf38w2bj511s4K9fKYsbPcp PkkYAlGSU3tn53gk4crbOSjceGEWZKj4byvvldSjDyG3NdhMrjjQI8C7+fYXSqBI d39WE9U7+Dqt1Fi+gJYC =NjvT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
