Hello Marcus, I'm still with problems with Tomcat5.5.20-2. I have the following installation.
Debian 4.0 ethc for AMD64 adduser 3.102 apache2-utils 2.2.3-4 apache2.2-common 2.2.3-4 ecj-bootstrap 3.2.1-3 sun-java5-jre 1.5.0-10-3 sun-java5-bin 1.5.0-10-3 libtomcat5.5-java 5.5.20-2 java-gcj-compat-dev 1.0.65-10 jsvc 1.0.1-3
From the suggested package I haven't installed yet the following:
libapache-mod-jk libapache2-mod-jk tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps Once I had all the required packages I installed tomcat5.5 stable but it doesn't start, because in the log file you can see that the tomcat native library is not in the path: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/amd64/server:/usr/lib/jvm/java= - 1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10 /jre/../lib/amd64 I discovered that the library must be installed with the following instructions: Download the tomcat native library (the version 1.1.4 because someone say that this is the right) http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/native/tomcat-native-1.= 1.4.tar.gz tar xvf tomcat-native-1.1.4.tar.gz mkdir /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/include ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.1.2/include/jni_md.h /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/include/jni_md.h This is because the tomcat-native need this link in the configure cd tomcat-native-1.1.4/jni/native ./configure --with-apr=3D/usr/bin/apr-config --with-java-home=3D/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun make make install In this point someone says that tomcat start with the actualization of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I was trying to actualize this in the /etc/default/tomcat5.5 but it doesn't work, and then in the /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5, but again it doesn't work. Actually I'll go on trying, but if you have solution to this, I would appreciate it. Thanks. -- Juan Fernando Jaramillo Gerente TecnologĂa MIG Internacional www.miginternacional.com Bogotá, Colombia
