Chuck and Hassan,
Thank you for your replies. Obviously, I did not realize that
/etc/tomcat6 is an artifact of
the crunchbang distribution.
However, I actually did use the standard tomcat7 distribution prior to
sending in my
help request.
I have now read the directions and
they were very helpful. I got tomcat7 working with no trouble at all in a
short amount of time. Lets just say I was misled by the tomcat6
distribution from
Crunchbang. In some ways, I do not like some of their restructuring, but
in all
honesty, they do a great job of distribution and support. I love their
version
of Linux because they use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!) principle.
Anyway, you help not only resolved my tomcat7 problem. But now that I have
tomcat7 working, my problems with Struts 2 in tomcat (struts 2 was
crashing in my linux environment) is also resolved, so now I can get
back to my software development. A big thanks to you and to Hassan for
taking
the time to help me out!!!!
Regards,
Jim

Subject: installing tomcat7-admin --- I have not /etc/tomcat7 directory
I have a problem because tomcat7 is not available for download with the
crunchbang distribution.
You would need to discuss on whatever support mechanism is available for
crunchbang.
When tomcat6-admin was installed with apt-get, the /etc/tomcat6 directory
got populated for me.
That is a characteristic of the particular repackaged Tomcat you were using,
not of any standard Tomcat distribution.
there is no /etc/tomcat7 directory to control the local configuration.
No such directory exists in a standard Tomcat distribution.
For now, I would like to get the tomcat web manager running but I need a
/etc/tomcat7 directory set up properly.
No, you don't need any such directory. You do need to look at the Tomcat
manager documentation:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html
It looks like it should be created when the tomcat7-admin package is installed.
Again, that is not part of a standard Tomcat distribution.
But I cannot find any documentation about installing tomcat7-admin.
Because it's an aspect of the 3rd-party repackaging of Tomcat, not of a real
Tomcat. The 3rd-party repackaged versions tend to scatter files all over the
place, disregarding the proper Tomcat setup. Stick with the standard Tomcat
from tomcat.apache.org, read the docs for the level you chose, and have a look
at the FAQ/Wiki.
