Just the person/team that provided the Tomcat "port" for Fedora. They should be flamed badly. I have pretty much given up trying to get tomcat running with Fedora's version. It seems that there are just too many problems with this version - and this was stated in several sites talking about it. I have downloaded tomcat binaries from apache's website, installed it in /usr/local directory, chown tomcat:tomcat the tomcat-5.5.12 directory and simply ran /usr/bin/dtomcat and tomcat started up with no errors as far as I can see. Finally - I can now see tomcat's index.jsp and my own index.html file in my web browser. I believe whomever created this tomcat version for Fedora has got some explaining to do. This is a horrible piece of junk, horrible waste of my time, and files moved all over the place that is it a major cause of confusion which departs from apache's standard configuration and installation. Heck, I cannot even simply define JAVA_HOME and find the binaries!!! Sheesh!! If anyone can point me to ONE definitive installation guide/faq that explains PRECISELY how to get tomcat running on FC4 from the original distro - please do! Nothing I tried so far even works! Yes, I got tomcat to "run" with a LOT OF WASTED TIME, and I was not able to get past the tomcat-user.xml file where it is trying to copy *some original file* to tomcat-user.xml.old and this causes *something* to throw an exception and on top of that fails to locate or serve any pages. It just spins it's wheels forever. I just cannot understand why Eclipse w/ Tomcat fails out of the box. This whole thing reminds me of M$ announcing a product when the product is not close to working just prevent customers from buying someone else's brand. Sheesh - what a piece of ****! Now... I have yet to get Eclipse to work in conjunction with Tomcat. We'll see how THAT goes.... Dan -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
