Actually it seemed clear to me the OP used a package installer as the original tomcat download doesn't have anything to place files in /etc automatically (at least not that I've ever seen). I think the OP should have used the operating system's install/uninstall tool to remove the package instead of just deleting files. It also sounds to me the reinstall failed in some manner, maybe silently. To Michael: I would use the system control panel stuff included with your OS to uninstall the tomcat package, then go back in and re-install it. If the re-install doesn't work, check the logs related to package maintenance (maybe syslog?) and ask on a email list for your OS how to remove/reinstall a damaged package. Or you could just uninstall it, download tomcat from tomcat.apache.org and install it. Installation is super easy -- just unarchive it using the appropriate unzip/untar program, cd to tomcat's bin directory and run startup.sh. Once you get it running, then go ahead and modify files like server.xml and tomcat-users.xml to taste as well as add/remove webapps in the webapps directory. It won't start automatically this way, but at least you'll have something working. --David --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
