Hi all, I am a newbie (really new) to the world of java, tomcat, etc. I have a medical program for teaching cases called MIRC installed on Tomcat5.5 and Java1.5.0_06. I installed Tomcat5.5 and the Sun JDK as they are required for the application and I could not figure out all the references in the standard FC4 packages. The program works as it is supposed to and the machine is a single purpose single processor unit.
My problem is to make it function under /etc/init.d so it will start automagically whenever the machine reboots [should be rare, of course!]. I have compiled jsvc and copied the Tomcat5.sh file into /etc/init.d. My problem is with the editing of this file. Setup: Tomcat installed on: /mirc/tomcat5 and this is CATALINA_HOME Java installed on: /usr/share/jdk1.5.0_06 and JAVA_HOME defined in /etc/profile DAEMON_HOME: /mirc/tomcat5/bin //I'm not sure if this is correct but I think it is referring to jsvc tomcat5 user is present on the system under the section of Tomcat5 labeled "#for multi instances adapt these lines" I would leave TMP_DIR=/var/tmp alone PID_FILE=/var/run/jsvc.pid alone CATALINA_BASE=/home/tomcat5/tomcat5/jakarta-tomcat5/build ?? How does CATALINA-BASE differ from CATALINA_HOME?? Can I just comment it out? CATALINA_OPTS='-Djava.library.path=/home/jfclere/jakarta/tomcat-connectors/jni/n ative/.libs" CLASSPATH=\ $JAVA_HOME=/lib/tools.jar:\ This conficts with /etc/profile. I think it can be commented out. $CATALINA_HOME=/bin/commons-daemon.jar:\ $CATALINA_HOME=/bin/bootstrap.jar These two lines can probably be excluded as they contradict what is exported from Tomcat5 when it starts up. then in the ' case "$1" in ...I can comment out lines referring to any possibly unnecessary lines such as $CATALINA_BASE To those of you experienced Java users this may seem very stupid, but I am having a heck of a time getting a handle on all the pieces and parts that need to go together and am not making much headway looking all the disparate parts up.
