Thanks for the reply Ben! Unfortunately due to needing Java 1.5+ (current distro gcj is Java 1.4.2 equivalent) for CAS (http://www.ja-sig.org/products/cas/) and Tomcat 6 (unicast member discovery via static members), I am unable to reply upon Redhat's Tomcat 5.5 package. As such, I have to use the precompiled binaries of Sun's Java 1.6 and Apache's Tomcat 6.0.
I have no problems compiling and using the jsvc daemon for Tomcat. I'm just at a loss about whether that is the right route or not.

Hi Andrew, Redhat package tomcat 5.5 as an RPM (or JPackage package it and Redhat distribute it). This RPM comes with well written init scripts, creates a tomcat user etc. I would recommend you use this. # yum install tomcat5 Cheers, Ben > > > > Thanks, > > > > Andrew R Feller, Analyst > > Subversion Administrator > > University Information Systems > > Louisiana State University > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > (office) 225.578.3737 > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
