Hi, Insted of doing all this, configure the EPEL repository so you can use yum to install openjdk (which is Sun JDK 1.6.0 open sourced -- and the current EPEL rpms were certified by the JCP). Then you can use yum o install tomcat from RHEL repositories. Easier than dealing with environment variables, already integrated to Linux boot and shutdown, and getting updates the regular RHEL way (no wories about security bugs) []s, Fernando Lozano > On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 1:37 PM, Virgilio Antonio Araujo > <vi.rlz4ever@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello group. > > > > I need to install a tomcat server 6.0.18 at a RHEL 5.3 i386 server. > > A install the latest jdk jdk-6u13-linux-i586-rpm.bin and point JAVA_HOME to > > /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_13. > [...] > > Someone had sucess to install tomcat from source on RHEL5.3? > > > Assuming that you have your Java extracted to the /opt directory, the > following works: > > export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6.0_07 > export PATH=/opt/jdk1.6.0_07/bin:$PATH > > Downloading Tomcat 6.0.18 from < > http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi#6.0.18 > and extracting to > location of choice (in my case, my home directory). > > Change directory to the Tomcat 6.0.18 bin executable directory: > > cd ~/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin > > and execute the startup.sh file: > > ~/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin$ ./startup.sh > > You should see similar output as below: > > Using CATALINA_BASE: /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18 > Using CATALINA_HOME: /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18 > Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /home/jose/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/temp > Using JRE_HOME: /mnt/hda8/opt/jdk1.6.0_07 > > Now point your browser to http://localhost:8080 (replace localhost > with your proper hostname) and you should see the relevant Tomcat > Admin Welcome page.
