Rule #1.. yelling is yelling :-)  People also don't respond to multiple
posts with the exact same message.


I guess I'm the only other person on this list who has worked with Jakarta
TomCat.  Personally I hate it.  I've had problems with it myself and the
documentation I feel is somewhat lacking.  I can only tell you that if I had
another choice I would go for it.  Unfortunately our developers are writting
everything for Jakarta so I'm stuck with it until I find time to either
learn it or come up with a better solution :-)  Take all the above with a
grain of salt.  I'm slightly ranting.  I feel the frustration ::grinz::


If you have survived my ranting then great job!  This is where I actually
say something worth reading /me chuckles.

Ok... Jakarta Tomcat borrows much from Apache (something I'm VERY familiar
with).  Unfortunately there is no httpd.conf and everything has been mixed
up a bit.  Must be ex Microsoft developers (that's a joke btw).

Under the Jakarta-tomcat directory there is a 'conf' subdirectory with
several files you want to get very familiar with.  Server.xml is where you
configure your ports (I'm using 8080 and 8443). web.xml has most of what you
expect from Apache's httpd.conf. 

I've had the startup.sh script fail to start.  After some poking around I
learned that is basically calls catalina.sh (from the same directory).  Try
running it directly and see if it works.  Make sure you select the 'start'
option.  It will remind you if you forget (./catalina.sh start)

Hmmm.. that's about what I know with tomcat.  I did learn they have a
mailing list like this one avaialble.


Here are the server rules

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html


After reading it you can join any of the lists that seem to make sense to you.

http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html

I haven't joined it yet myself.  I have other obligations but will soon.  I
need to get a handle on this turkey.  Like you... I'm a bit frustrated with
the product but am learning.

One more thing.. make sure you have JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME pointing to
your installations.  I believe I had some problems with startup leaving it out.

Good Luck to you.
