Please help me . I want to install tomcat at any cost

Edit /usr/sbin/starttomcat

Change

        "-debug","-outfile","../logs/catalina.out",
        "-errfile","../logs/catalina.err","-verbose","-security");

To

"-Djava.endorsed.dirs=$ENV{JAKARTA_HOME}/common/endorsed",
        "org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap",
        "-debug","-outfile","$ENV{JAKARTA_HOME}/logs/catalina.out",

Hello,

Now that error is gone.. And this is what is got from ps ax |grep tomcat

/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin]# ps ax |grep tomcat

and this is the result of neststat
[/usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin]# netstat -lpn |grep 8080

But the pages show this error

HTTP Status 404 - /Hello.jsp

type Status report

message /Hello.jsp

description The requested resource (/Hello.jsp) is not available.

please advice

[dgbaker]

At that point more troubleshooting is required. Please PM me if you would like us to take a look at the issue.

Hello,

This is the domains entry in server.xml


<Host name="www.sujais.com" appBase="/home/sujais/public_html">
<Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="/home/sujais/public_html" debug="1"/>
</Host>


I dont know what is the reason for this error

[sujai]

Hello,

I another server where tomcat is working this is the status


netstat -lpn |grep 8080
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7730/jsvc.exec


Is tomcat working on my first server?.

[sujai]

Hello,

I got the tomcat server and the examples in the tomcat directory working. So I think its something with server.xml file. Any idea on this. Thanks

--Sujai

[sujai]

Hurray.... AT LAST I GOT IT WORKING. I INSTALLED IT MANUALLY AND MADE SOME CHANGES AND NOW ITS WORKING...... Anyway thanks for your prompt reply.

Make sure to disable the tomcat addon in whm, so it does not update it on you.

[sujai]

Hello,

Please follow these steps to install tomcat manaually
1. Download Tomcat
====

Downloaded "5.5.3-beta tar.gz" from here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi

Which is this file:

http://apache.ausgamers.com/jakarta/...t-5.5.3.tar.gz

This version of Tomcat likes JDK 2.5, which can be downloaded here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

If you are going to use JDK 1.4 with Tomcat, also download the compat archive,
"5.5.3-beta Compat tar.gz" which is this file:

http://apache.ausgamers.com/jakarta/...-compat.tar.gz


2. Unzip Archive
====

Unzipped the archive:

tar xzvf jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3.tar.gz

If you downloaded the compat archive to use Tomcat with JDK 1.4, also unzip the
compat archive from the same directory as the tomcat archive itself - meaning
that the compat archive will unpack itself into the same directory as the
tomcat one just did.

tar xzvf jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3-compat.tar.gz

Remember to save both archives and run both of these tar commands from the same
directory. For example:

/usr/local
# tar xzvf jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3.tar.gz

/usr/local
# tar xzvf jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3-compat.tar.gz

Copied the folder to where I want it installed.

cp jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3 /usr/local/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3




3. Set Environment Variables
====

Edited .bash_profile of "root" user to make sure $CATALINA_HOME was set:

export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3

You must also make sure JAVA_HOME is set to the installation directory
of your Java installation:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02




4. See Install Documentation
====

Looked at the Tomcat 5.5 Installation docs for Unix:

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tom...doc/setup.html




5. Create Daemon Startup Binary
====

As "root", I ran the following commands to make jsvc, which allows Tomcat 5 to
be run as a daemon or background thread:

# Needed if you just edited .bash_profile to add CATALINA_HOME
source ~/.bash_profile

cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
cd jsvc-src
autoconf
# I found ./configure did not have execute rights for root.
chmod +711 ./configure
./configure
make
cp jsvc ..
cd ..




6. Install Startup Script
====

Now that you have the binary, you need a script in place that Linux will
execute when you start up and shut down the OS.

Copied the daemon startup script to init.d:

cp $CATALINA_HOME/bin/jsvc-src/native/Tomcat5.sh \
/etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5

Make sure root can execute it:

chmod +711 /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5

Put links in the rc5.d directory to make sure the Tomcat5 script was called
at run level 5 startup and shutdown (X windows level):

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5 /etc/rc5.d/S50Tomcat5
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5 /etc/rc5.d/K50Tomcat5

Put links in the rc3.d directory to make sure the Tomcat5 script was called
at run level 3 startup and shutdown (console level):

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5 /etc/rc3.d/S50Tomcat5
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/Tomcat5 /etc/rc3.d/K50Tomcat5

Could (instead) have put an entry in this file:

/etc/rc.local






7. Edit Startup Script
====

Edited Tomcat5.sh to fill in the appropriate details for me. The actual lines I
changed were:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03
CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3
DAEMON_HOME=/usr/local/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.3
TOMCAT_USER=robertmarkbram

#
# Start Tomcat
#
$DAEMON_HOME/bin/jsvc \


My actual Tomcat5.sh:

# Small shell script to show how to start/stop Tomcat using jsvc

kill $PID

*)
echo "Usage tomcat.sh start/stop"
exit 1;;
esac
##############################################################################




8. Change Port You Run Tomcat On
====

Changed the following in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml to make Tomcat run on
port 8095 instead of the default 8080:

<Connector port="8095"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" />




9. Set Up Admin User
====

Edited $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml to give myself a user with
admin and manager roles:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>

Users with admin role can use the admin tool:

http://localhost:8095/admin

Users with the manager role can use manager tools like this one:

http://localhost:8095/manager/list



10. Reboot
====

Restarted my machine (with fingers crossed).

Run as root:

init 6

Or just log out and reboot!

how to enable sites for JSP after installing it from WHM ?

or all sites will be auto-enabled?

i remember the very old tomcat module adds a link at WHM to enable sites for jsp

[linux-image]

yes. it does add a link at the WHM. check at:

Account Functions ==> Install Servlets

that does it.

[big]

yeah found it thanks

[big]

anyone knows if its possible to upgrade JDK from 1.4.2 to 1.5.0 ? (a.k.a 5.0) ?

thanks

[linux-image]

humm.. it is not tried out yet. anyone else who have tried ?
