Is this: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html the extent of the setup docs?
I'm reaching it by editing the hosts file on my windoze machine to resolve all www.mysite.com requests back to an internal ip which is the machine in question. Tomcat is running as root or at least thats what "ps auxf" indicates. I rolled back to the original server.xml, restarted Tomcat and I'm still getting a "Failed to Establish Connection Error" in my browser for www.mysite.com:8080. But www.mysite.com is working. Furthermore, I can tell you that "netstat -a" indicated no listener for port 8080 and that that Catalina logs look ok. thanks, On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 12:24 PM, Peter Crowther <peter.crowt...@melandra.com > wrote: > > From: Jonathan Mast [mailto:jhmast.develo...@gmail.com] > > I'm trying to get Tomcat 6 running on a RedHat box. > > > > I don't want to build deamon with jsvc as the docs say I > > should do, at least > > not yet.
