Bug ID: 61175
Summary: Tomcat 8 dangling symlink on commons-dbcp.jar
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.x-trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: pwey...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ----
Sorry for posting another bug so soon, but I simply cannot get tomcat to work
on linux. I have now successfully installed tomcat 8 using sudo apt-get install
tomcat8 on a linux mint 18 machine (a debian like build). If I try and install
this file with eclipse however I get the following error:
Description Resource Path Location Type
The container 'Apache Tomcat v8.0 [Apache Tomcat v8.0]' references non existing
library '/usr/share/tomcat8/lib/commons-dbcp.jar' helloworld2 Build path
Build Path Problem
Investigating the problem I have found that the tomcat8 installation creates
danling symlinks. I have gone ahead and purged all of the previous
installations and reinstalled a fresh copy and sure enough:
patientplatypus@next /usr/share/tomcat8/lib $ sudo chmod u+x commons-dbcp.jar
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink 'commons-dbcp.jar'
So it would seem that on a completely fresh install there are libraries that
are missing that break tomcat.
Is there a fix for this? What can I do?
