Hmm, looks like I wasn't clear enough about what's happening.
In the mean time, I had to switch to tomcat version5.5, as the latest
cocoon wouldn't run with the FC4 tomcat5.0 rpm package installed.
I'm running tomcat5.5 on FC4 (linux) with java 1.5 (from SUN).
I'm trying to set up the standalone server such that users can
install and deply webapplications in their home directory (this is
for a lab).
We only have three 'users', one for each special task. The students
will always be mapped to one of these users, no matter how they
login, however,
any of the accounts should be able to make use of tomcat. And, no, we
do not want them to use eclipse at this stage, they should use 'the
real thing'.
I was doing what the documentation said about the special Listener
option within a Host environmen in the configuration file. This
Listener option
should mount all user's web sites. Under 5.0 this was indeed the
case, with 5.5, the 'applications' (given as ~user) are started and
are visible in the manager,
but when I click on them, I get an error saying that the requested
resource is not available - and nothing in the logs!
Tomcat 5.0 would at least list the contents of that directory.
The config I'm using in server.xml:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
directoryName="tomcat/webapps"
userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase"/>
This should, and does, start an 'application' for each user, listing
it as ~user in manager.
The 5.5 documentation (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/
host.html) contradicts itself by first stating that "then its
contents will be visible" and then,
later on: "Each user web application will be deployed with
characteristics ..."
So, what *does* it do? list or deploy? Should I go into the
developer's list with this question?
