i have already installed apache2+php4+mysql
this combination is working perfectly

i've also installed j2sdk1.4, set JAVA_HOME and exported it to path.....so java also works properly
but i cant get tomcat started up....
i unzipped jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0 in my /usr folder, set CATALINA_HOME to /usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0......when i run the startup.sh..this comes:

[root@nehru bin]# ./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.0/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05/


but no server is started...ther eis no connection on port 8080.....did i miss anything?

fixed it

turns out tomcat 5.5.0 works with j2sdk5+, not with 1.4
so had to switch to tomcat 4.1

Hi nukeu666,


You said -

fixed it

turns out tomcat 5.5.0 works with j2sdk5+, not with 1.4
so had to switch to tomcat 4.1 .

Why did you not install j2sdk5+, rather than switching to older version of Tomcat ?.

thanks

i think it was coz java1.5 was beta back then
