New Tomcat 5.0.19 installer

[dgbaker]

I could have said the same thing.

Take our script wrap an simple if statement and they called it there own with zero credit. So which is unfair? I at least gave credit, and it was more than one line.

Also if he has issue with it they can talk professionally with us in regards to it. I am not about to talk or debate this here.

One improvement you might want to make is..

instead of...

        if [ -d "/home/$user" ]; then
                echo "User exists continuing setup"
        else
                echo "User does not exist or is spelled wrong!"
                echo "Please verify and try again!"
                exit
        fi

Replace it with

        if [ -d "/home/$user" ]; then
                echo "User exists continuing setup"
        elif [ -d "/home2/$user" ]; then
                echo "User Exists In Home2, This script currently does not support that"
                exit 1
        else
                echo "User does not exist or is spelled wrong!"
                echo "Please verify and try again!"
                exit
        fi

Obviously it just takes a few lines of code to make it support home2, but I dont really have the time to set it up, and this is your project anyway so I will leave it to you

Very VERY defensive I see? Heh. As if you did something wrong and are trying to forcefully lash out and prove your point so that I wont argue with you about it?

Haha, not intimidating.

A) I don’t know the guy, nor do I care that you took his script. But I just thought it was funny how he comes up with this thing, and then you completely re-brand it as your own.
B) Did you “talk to him professionally” before ripping off his script? No? Oh…
C) Chill out.

I’m no programmer, or script author, in fact, I wouldn’t even know how to properly apply the script – but I do know that if I take someone else’s book, and add 3 lines of writing to it, and then put a new cover on it and sell it as my own, people will not only see that as horribly unprofessional, but they’d view me (or you in this case) as more or less a big joke.

Oh, not to mention it’d be illegal. But as I said, I’m no script author, so I don’t know what’s legal / illegal in terms of copying other people’s scripts so I’m not saying you should be punished by the law or anything, lol, I just think it’s unfair that you took credit for his work.

Like I said, I am not going to debate this. Issue closed.

Thanks Aexi - Script has been updated.

Issue closed? What a joke...

I wish I could heed the warning on the fisrt post but I need to install this for a client as much as I hate to.

I cant get past the pre-install script. I keep getting a failure as it cant optain the java version. I have tried installing the Sun java SDK rpm but it still generates that error.

What do I need to do? What am I missing?

Its a RHE 3 box.

[dgbaker]

What does the following give you?

cd /usr/java
ls -l

[fishfreek]

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 May 10 17:52 ./
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 May 10 17:52 ../
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 May 10 17:52 j2sdk1.4.2_04/

[dgbaker]

In /usr/local do you have the following?

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 27 17:39 jdk -> /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Apr 27 17:39 jre -> /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre//

If so run the following command and try the install again.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk

[fishfreek]

I dont have those. This is what i have in usr/local/

root@server1 [/usr/local]# ls -l

[dgbaker]

Let's create them manually

cd /usr/local
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04 jdk
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre jre

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk

Now try the install again.

[opticempire]

Hey peeps.

On the main tomcat install, (where you get the default page and have links to sample scripts etc) if i test the snoop script it works fine.

But if i upload the snoop script to one of my sub accounts with servlets etc installed i get.

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Ok. The preinstall worked and the install script ran.

But I could not find the ./cpinstall.sh script in the download. Also I could not visit http://servername:8080 all I get is a page can not be displayed message.

When I try to run the starttomcat script I get.

/usr/sbin/starttomcat: line 16: ./bin/startup.sh: No such file or directory

[dgbaker]

That would mean the install did not run successfully for some reason.

1. Are you logged in as root?
2. re-download the latest package and try it.
3. cpinstall.sh has been replaced with tcinstall in the latest package.
