Hi All,
I'm trying to install tomcat 4.

I have downloaded j2sdk1.4.0_02 and have set the JAVA_HOME to the path of this directory . Also i have added in PATH $JAVA_HOME/bin.
In CLASSPATH i have added $JAVA_HOME/bin

I have downloaded jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31. and added its path to PATH.
now while running ~/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/bin/start.sh i got the message

Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/software/j2sdk1.4.0_02


However in browser when i'm gicing the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/ its giving error :

The connetion was refused when attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080

Any Suggestions,

Thanks,
Rahul Sinha

Also i got ,

[root@5fwwd163c bin]# service tomcat4 restart
tomcat4: unrecognized service
[root@5fwwd163c bin]#

Any suggestions,

Thanks,
Rahul Sinha

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux-Software and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

it looks you don't have a script running it in /etc/init.d/ (or a place correct for your distribution). Or you have it and the name is not tomcat4. Take a look into that directory (cd /etc/init.d; ls) and check for the names. Maybe it's jakarta or tomcat in your system?

Connection refused means the service if not listening on that port. Maybe it does on 80? Use 'netstat -l' to see which programs are listening on which ports. You should be also able to specify the port in a configuration file. Unfortunatelly I don't know where it is.

Could you please tell use which distribution you have? It'd really help.

I have Fedora core 1

the config file is i believe is server.xml in ~/conf.

Thanks,
Rahul

Any clue ???

Thanks,

there was one more instance of tomcat 3.2.x running on the system.

i have uninstalled the rpm.

But same result.

If you don't have Apache running, Tomcat is on port 80. Look in the configuretion file and there should be something about port it's using.

I have httpd running on port 80

Also Now i have downloaded tomcat rpm .

The config file and the error are as below :

[root@5fwwd163c init.d]# rpm -qa | grep tomcat4

After installing the following RPM the previous error is gone.However new one appears clearly mentioning that "CONNECTION REFUSED"
