New Tomcat 5.0.19 installer

[mydomain]

Would like to offer JSP page hosting to customers - could you advise any links to gain some knowledge that will hold us in good stead for offering this to customers - would like to know a little bit about this and the basics needed to maintain the service before offering to our customers.

Any help appreciated.

The only problem I am having is in chkserv.d doesnt want to show tomcat status, here whats in my file:

#SERVICE = PORT, SEND, RESPONSE, RESTART COMMAND
service[Tomcat_JSP (5.0.19)]=8082,GET / HTTP/1.0,HTTP/1..,/usr/sbin/stoptomcat;/usr/sbin/starttomcat

Any help would be appreciated...

I ran /etc/init.d/chkservd restart
and rebooted but no go...

Nevermind, got it working. Had an error in the original file, just a space but that does make all the difference.

Hi,

I have got TomCat working on port 8080 and can run the examples from there. I also am able to add servlets to an account from WHM - however when trying to run a test .jsp from the account I get a 500 error! This I cannot seem to get rid of - anyone got any ideas?

Also I am wondering where the IsItWorking class and hello.jsp files are as they are not in /usr/local/jakarta/conf/ as detailed in the cpinstall.sh file for transfer to my skel directory.

Thanks for any reply.

Did I forget to add them to the conf directory? I'll fix this up today.

As for the other...

Verify that you have the Load and Add Module settings for mod_jk in httpd.conf along with the other mentioned variables. (Depending on if you're doing tc5 or tc4 these may differ).

Ensure to restart apache after making conf changes.

Hello - thank you - I went through my httpd.conf file with a toothcomb to find I was including JK.conf and not Jk.conf - I had # out that line since I couldn't get apache to restart and had forgotten about it... doh!

This is some truely great work that you are up to.. thanx again. Please find some £ moola heading your way via your bandwidth fund.

Sorry about that, the TC5 installer has been updated to include those. Thanks for letting me know.

Any room for a freebsd install?

Unfortunatly I do not have any freeBSD servers. Sorry.

My main worry is that to use the manager or admin from :8080 I have to stop & restart tomcat each and every time.... this can't be right can it?

Thank you for any reply.

No, they should be available to you all of the time. You can though change the port in server.xml if you want.

newb questions
ok, this is actually my first attempt with tomcat, I have it up and running and verified it is working.

I have some questions though, any help with these is greatly appreciated

1) On the domain i installed servlets onto through cpanel, i notice that i can no long access the tomcat welcome page on port 8080, is this normal ?

2) How do i turn off port 8080 on domains i dont want to have tomcat. If i goto anydomain.com:8080 on my box, they all point to the tomcat welcome page, is this possible to turn this off for domains i dont want to have access to ?

3) Do multiple users need access to the admin and or manager portion of the tomcat welcome page ? If so, do i just add another role and another <user username ... tag

4) I have a feeling i need to link WEB-INF to a folder in public-html, or do i ? If so, would a sym link be the way, or do i need to make changes in .conf

5) when i attempt to access IsItworking... i get nothing, yet i notice you say you made changes. I do a updatedb, locate IsIt and find nothing

This will work on RHE 3.0 and Fedora right?

It was designed for RH9, RHE and Fedora.
