marouene · #1 11th April 2011, 10:50 PM

hi, nice to meet you

i used ssh to connect to my server
i've juste installed tomcat6 on my fedora server c12, i used the yum command

Code:

sudo yum install tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps

then i put

Code:

sudo service tomcat6 restart

But i can't access to my tomcat server when tapping http://@server:8080 on my browser...
i try

Code:

netsat -anp | grep :8080

the result is

Code:

tcp        0      0 :::8080                     :::*                        LISTEN      25549/java

also

Code:

chkconfig --list | grep tomcat

and the result is

Code:

tomcat5         0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
tomcat6         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:off   4:off   5:off   6:off

sudo yum install tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps

and service tomcat6 start

i took this noti : tomcat6: no service

Well, those are examples and tools for Tomcat6, you have to install Tomcat6 first:

Code:

su -c "yum install tomcat6"

Then you have to prepare for running the service

Code:

su -c "chkconfig --level 2345 tomcat6 on"

then you have to setup JAVA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/tomcat6.conf, then you have to start up the service

Code:

su -c "service tomcat6 start"

then you have to deploy your WARs to /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps and, finally, you can point your browser to your deployed application(s)

Which version of tomcat are you willing to install, 5 or 6? I suggest that you uninstall whatever you've installed so far and start fresh with a new installation of your target tomcat version

marouene · #9 13th April 2011, 11:48 AM

OK i will try to install tomcat5 now

then i will telle you the result, i hope that it will turn on

giulix · #10 13th April 2011, 01:26 PM

Ok, I hope that too. If you require assistance, please post all commands executed and all messages received

Ok, a few problems I ran into when trying to install tomcat5 after installing (and subsequently removing) tomcat6 on F14 (and maybe the other way round, too): Starting up the service fails because during installation/removal the tomcat account is not updated according to the version of tomcat currently being installed, so it ends up pointing to the wrong home directory and leaves it disabled.
To fix this, one has to amend tomcat's home directory in /etc/passwd: Change

Code:

tomcat:x:91:91:Apache Tomcat:/usr/share/tomcat6:/sbin/nologin

to

Code:

tomcat:x:91:91:Apache Tomcat:/usr/share/tomcat5:/bin/bash

with your favorite text editor. I also had to change ownership to all tomcat directories

Code:

su -c "chown root:tomcat /var/log/tomcat5 /var/lib/tomcat5 /var/cache/tomcat5 /etc/tomcat5"

and change permissions to /var/log/tomcat5

Code:

su -c "chmod 775 /var/log/tomcat5"

I don't know if this is also a consequence of the double installation, much the same as I don't know if it's going to be a problem in F12 too (I don't have a F12 installation handy, atm). Just check this out in case you can't manage to start the service after installing tomcat5 in F12.
