Tomcat install freezes

[iwdev]

I'm trying to install Tomcat via the Addon Modules area, but the install seems to freeze part-way through the license (it stops printing text in section E of the license agreement). I've left it 'loading' in the browser for 15 minutes and it never gets any further.

Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know of a way to run the install via the shell without interfering with CPanel?

EDIT: This is on a CentOS 3 server

Never mind, sorted it.

I found the install script in /usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/tomcat-Linux-i686 and ran it through ssh. It was getting stuck trying to overwrite the jdk1.5.0_02 folder (in /usr/local) so I removed that and ran the install again.

thanks for posting your solution I once asked Billy at Cpanel if there was a way to do it manually and he said no, goes to show...

No worries - I know how irritating it is to find a thread where someone had the same problem as you then just says "fixed it" which doesn't really help hehe.

Yea, i went ahead and deleted the folder on SSH, then under WHM i did the install and wow it worked.. Thanks a lot iwdev

I had this exact problem ... deleting the old java folder cleared up the problem!

 

[rip_curl]

in installation via ssh I've seen this:

cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/samples': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/samples': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/samples': No such file or directory

what does it means?

I had a problem deleting the folder... would not give access... here is the solution
rm -f -r -d jdk1.5.0_02 -----this will delete the folder contence.

bump on this. That install folder

/usr/local/cpanel/modules-install/tomcat-Linux-i686

is not present on my machine. But the WHM install is still freezing. This is after a previous install and uninstall.

UPDATE: I did get rid of the jdk install. But I still like to know where the install script is.

Use whm to unisntall and reinstall. the script is only added once you select the tomcat addon and save. Once the cpanel script runs, it adds the directories.

I had the problem, and this is what i did to fix it.

1. Un-install Tomcat from the addons section in WHM
2. then rename "/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_02" to somthing else.
3. Install Tomcat from WHM

Yipeee!!!!!!!!!!! and it works....

I was having the same problem after an upgrade last night, and have followed the instructions here, but I am still having issues.

After the tomcat installation in WHM shows success, the sites with JSP are just showing an internal server error and the tomcat admin page isn't responding either.

Any ideas?

 

[cynux]

check your httpd.conf file for errors.

if you still cant fix it... un-install tomcat then remove all tomcat fucntions from your httpd.conf file and then install tomcat again...

 

[cynux]

and dont forget to backup the file, before you start editing

 

[russellhosting]

Yeah I have already done all of that...

Tomcat service cannot be started

Yes, I have installed Tomcat successfully, but the tomcat service cannot be started. I tried the same both from WHM and via SSH, but no use. Any ideas?

 

[raxafarian]

same problem. Tomcat installs ok (after deleting the directory mentioned above) but is always 'failed' and cannot be started.

 

[raxafarian]

well... I got tomcat started.

went to /usr/local/jakarta/tomcat/bin

and ran:
./catalina.sh run

not sure if this is the 'correct' way, but it's up and running and those annoying 'failed' emails have stopped.
