More progress:
Lots of manual rpm -e action. For some reason the one tomcat5 rpm
can't be deleted, but:
1. Tomcat4 starts up.
2. However, when I http://localhost:8080 I receive a long list of
exceptions such as
at
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline$StandardPipelineValveContext.invokenext(org.apache.catalina.Request,
org.apache.catalina.Response) (Unknown Source)
and then under 'root cause',for example,
at org.apache.catalina.core...........(Unknown Source)
env var CATALINA_HOME points to /usr/share/tomcat4 and in this directory
the directory shared has empty subdirectories 'classes' and 'lib'. This
suggests to me (a physician, non-programmer) that tomcat4 is not really
installed.
I reran yum ... and it reported nothing to do. Should I do a forced
reinstall of the tomcat4-jasper & servlet ?
TIA
