I'm giving you a piece of advice: - copy debian's tomcat-startup-script - since it is not too bad
- after that, remove & purge debian's tomcat-package - get the tar fro tomcat.apache.org and untar it in a directory of your choice (i.e. /var/lib) - copy debian's startup-script back to the original location - adapt the contents of the tomcat startup-script so that it points to your new installation we've done it like that and it works like charm. the debian-tomcat-package is good for exactly one thing: apt-get --purge.... actually i'm a great fan of debian, but their tomcat-packaging makes things wy more complicated than they have to be. besides, when you're asking for support from this list, it always helps running the original distribution hth gregor -- what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
