Step by step install for Tomcat 4.1.29 and JDBC drivers

[dgbaker]

I no longer have a 4.0.3 installer, hopefully someone may have an old backup of it.

As a matter of fact, I do. If anyone wants it, pm me your e-mail address.

Honestly the 4.0.3 installer was the best and I still use it on my RH9 boxes because it compiles Ant for one thing and also includes everthing else needed for full Java/JSP Support

I have it in my archives here for anyone who wants this. Good on all RedHat except for RHE

NOTE: You need j2sdk-1.4.0 as your Java VM for this to work properly which you can get here:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html

or download now:
http://www.planetgac.net/downloads/j...x-i386-rpm.bin
wget or right click and save as...

To install the Java environment delete your current /usr/java folder (if applicable) and delete the 2 shortcuts, jre and jdk, in /usr/local (if applicable)

Then upload the file to root and perform the following in shell:

chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin

./j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin

rpm -ivh j2sdk-1_4_0-fcs-linux-i386.rpm --force
(I am using the force command in case you had previous and newer versions of the sdk installed)

Done now
test your version:
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java -version

Set the PATH environment variable: (/etc/profile).

PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin:."
export PATH

and in shell run

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0

ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0 /usr/local/jdk
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/ /usr/local/jre


Done now you can install Tomcat...
