New Tomcat 5.0.19 installer

[dgbaker]

UPDATE SEPT. 14TH - INSTALLER NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

Since cPanel now includes Tomcat in version 9.9.x, we are no longer supplying our installer as it can cause conflicts with cPanel's install.

DG...

Thanks for the great work yet again. This looks awesome! If you need a mirror for the downloads contact me at kris@wwm.net and we can set something up.

[dgbaker]

Your welcome.

I will be adding some additional instructions/information for things like enabling admin and manager.

We are also working on an auto-deployer. Basically a cron script that monitors a certain directory in users home areas and if they put a .war file there it gets picked up by the script and gets auto-deployed. We are still working on the updating of httpd for the newly deployed app though. No estimated timeline has been set.

dgbaker,

I believe that your installer added the following to the httpd.conf

/usr/local/build/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf

but should have added

/usr/local/jakarta/build/tomcat/conf/auto/mod_jk.conf

Regards,
David

dgbaker,

Also the /usr/local/jakarta/build/tomcat/conf/jk/worker.properties references a /conf/workers2.properties properties in the tomcat home, yet there doesn't appear to be such a config file..... Is this supposed to reference jk2.properties in the conf directory or something else?

Regards,
David

This is for the 4.1.19 installer.
No it is correct, this is not a build/src install it is a binary install.

ok -- my bad

I may have had remnants of the v4 TC around.. I'll dig a little deeper....

DG, which jdk is required. The version I downloaded, 1.2.4, doesn't seem to be linked up like your script requires.

[dgbaker]

It should use

j2sdk1.4.2_04

Linked as follows;

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

Hello, I am trying unsucessfully to get .jsp up and running on my server!

I get this error when running ./pre-install.sh

Unable to load native library: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/libja
va.so: symbol __libc_waitpid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file li
bc.so.6 with link time reference

Now, I actually have /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2-b05 installed - will I have to instead install the 1.4.0 to have this work correctly? Or can I just go ahead with the rest of the tut?

Thank you for any reply.

trout.

[dgbaker]

The install will actually install 1.4.2 and re-link jdk and jre.

What does tomcat set the default login and pass to for the admin panels?

[Planet_Master]

I am definitely going to try this, sure beats manual install. I will report any problems and work arounds if necessary. Thx DgB

There is no default, you need to set your own:
edit /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Add the following:
< user username="user" password="secretpass" roles="admin,manager"/ >

save and restart Tomcat.

DgB I tried it on my RHE server and works great (ToDo: RH 9 servers), basically the same thing as my manual install without all the hassles. Although I will still need to modify my server and web XML for my custom purposes but none the less a great time saver

Thx!

[dgbaker]

Thanks, your very welcome, I did try it on a RH9 server and did work so you shouldn't have too much trouble. Also as a note the RH9 server I tried it on was an RH7.3 to RH9 in place upgrade using one of the Howto's on ev1.
