Fedora 28+Tomcat *almost* works

scareduck · 10-04-2018, 11:18 PM

Fedora 28, Tomcat out of the RedHat box, so the following RPMs:

tomcat-jsp-2.3-api-8.5.32-1.fc28.noarch
tomcat-8.5.32-1.fc28.noarch
tomcat-servlet-3.1-api-8.5.32-1.fc28.noarch
tomcat-native-1.2.17-1.fc28.x86_64
tomcat-lib-8.5.32-1.fc28.noarch
tomcat-el-3.0-api-8.5.32-1.fc28.noarch

I have SELinux completely disabled, so the firewall shouldn't be an issue.

# systemctl start tomcat

worked fine. localhost:8080 doesn't generate the "you did the install correctly" page, but neither does it generate an "unable to connect" error, either. So it appears the server is working, for some value of that word, but not producing any output. Catalina localhost_access_log shows the GET requests from the browser, but I'm not getting any generated output. Halp!

Apparently you need to install some more packages
