New Tomcat 5.0.19 installer

[kris1351]

Forgot to post that I have this up and running on one server now and it is testing out great. We have a couple of heavy JSP users that are loving it. They like it a lot more than the previous 4.x versions running on RH7.3.


Thanks again DG.

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 go to 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

Actually you should ba accessing the admin from http://hostname:8080
Example:
http://server.planetgac.net:8080

But it should work with all domains, not sure if its the servlet add or something else. Try restarting tomcat and then trying localhost:8080

As for all domains having access, they can see the Tomcat page but cannot gain access to manager or admin if you do not assign them a user/pass in tomcat-users.xml

You can add additional users for manager if you have a trusted Tomcat user and want to provide them with their own JVM, basically an easy way for them to upload apps and WAR files but I would make sure they know what they are doing. Just add them as a manager in the tomcat-users.xml

As for Web-INF, no sym link needed but make sure the file structure and placement is correct.

File is it working should be called as follows:
http://localhost/servlet/IsItWorking
Example:
http://www.planetgac.net/servlet/IsItWorking

DgBaker, just an example of how unpredicatable Tomcat is. I installed this on 4 identical RH 3 servers with the JDBC connectors. Works perfect for JDBC database connection on 3 without any mods to server.xml and the fourth needed some serious coding in server.xml to run the JDBC. Unbelievable! So I updated my connectors to mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable and did a few tweaks to the server.xml and the JDBC is running. Of course this was the server with the most JSP accounts and database apps, so the customers got a free day of hosting...my luck!

Yep! Been there, did two Tomcat installs today for a Corp. with Vignette, 1 worked, 1 failed, took two hours to fix, no changes just re-associated apps together a few times and it started working.

Hi,

I got this error runing pre-install.sh

Error occurred during initialization of VM
Unable to load native library: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_waitpid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

I dont know what to do next, some help will be apreciated

btw, im using:
tc4-install.tar.gz on RHE3, tc5 its seems not avaliable at the moment in your site.


Thank you.

[dgbaker]

The install script will/should fix and upgrade that for you.

I fixed that, renaming the old javasdk to java.save and creating a link (ln -s) to the new java instalation, it works perfectly.

Now i got another problem, everything is working, i install the servlets in one domain, but when i try to reach IsItWorking with the brownser, iit try to download, instead of runing it the server.

What could it be now?

Thaks!

[dgbaker]

How are you calling it in the browser?

Should be as follows;

http://domain.com/servlet/IsItWorking

[ricardom]

Please, see it:

http://gulinuxsul.org/servlet/IsItWorking

HTTP Status 404 - /servlet/IsItWorking

type Status report

message /servlet/IsItWorking

description The requested resource (/servlet/IsItWorking) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/4.1.30

[dgbaker]

What does it say in the bottom of the Catalina.out log file?

Also ensure ownerships are correct.
