Tomcat configuration

gballsch · 04-24-2003, 08:27 AM

Hello - I have RH8 with Apache installed and working on port 80, which works fine, but would like to have Tomcat running on same IP on port 8080. I have Tomcat installed but am having trouble configuring the server to work from Apache root (localhost) AND Tomcat root (localhost:8080). How should I configure the http service to do this? Two virtual hosts? Appreciate any help ...

Thanks, Gregg

What u want to do is go to an XML file (I think is "server.xml") to
config the port.

it should be in you tomcat home directory, in the conf subdirectory. There will be a file called server.xml that lists the various services and ports for Tomcat.

Hello again. I checked the server.xml file, it looked ok, restarted and all of a sudden I was able to see the tomcat root page on localhost:8080 (also apache on localhost:80). But upon a reboot I can no longer see the tomcat root page on locahost:8080 (still can see apache). I don't know what I did to make it start working, and then stop. Is some comfiguration changing when I reboot. I also tried flushing the iptable. .... frustrating .......

BTW - I get a connection refused error message when I try to access localhost:8080 .........

I am getting the same problems. The big one with me when I reboot is the error "You do not have permissions to view this host"

I discovered why I got tomcat to work previously - I need to execute the startup script from root. Where should I put this startup so that it executes automatically w/ reboot? Thanks for help ...............

To make it start up as root, you should put it in one of the rc directories or scripts.

If you're running a SysV-type of system (rc.1, rc.2, etc. directories) put the script in the rc.3 or rc.5 directory (depending on what inittab has the starting level set to).

If you're running a BSD-style system (rc.local file, etc.), then add to the rc.local file the commands necessary to change to the directory and start up tomcat.
