If your running fedora/redhat, it usually creates many symlinks and places the actual files into different folders. The only reason this is done I think is for flexibility. For instance with the server running my site now, I have my webapp in a different home directory and created a symlink called ROOT to point to my webapp. This allows my app to become the deault app without having to do anything else. If you have ssh server running, I'll be willing to login to your machine to provide some guidiance. Currently I use not much more than but nautilus to administer my server.

I believe it is something no one setup. Since I am the local tomcat "novice" I have not done anything about it either. I just have to remember to manually start tomcat when I reboot the server (which I have had occasion to forget to do before). >> What is the "/usr/local/java/. . ." referring to?

Ok, well that resides in /usr/java/jdk-1.5.0. Where can I download a new version? Is the download straightforward for a novice like me? Or do I need to read up on a thing or two before downloading? The machine I am attempting to move this to is running CentOS 4.0.
