I'm trying to get Tomcat 6 running on a RedHat box. I don't want to build deamon with jsvc as the docs say I should do, at least not yet. Is this the extent of the official documentation for setting up Tomcat on Linux?
I installed JDK 6 and Tomcat 6, defined JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME and setup have a Host and Context in server.xml for www.mysite.com. I invoke catalina.sh start and get a process running, but I can't reach mysite. I should say that apache httpd 2.0 is already running on this machine and my www.mysite.com is reachable there, so I figured www.mysite.com:8080 would take me to tomcat. Is that a correct assumption? IE. Should I be able to by httpd by tacking :8080 onto the url? If I kill apache httpd (I have no intention of using it going forward), will updating server.xml with port 80 rather than port 8080 automagically get everything to work, or is there other stuff I need to do before Tomcat will run as a standalone webserver? thanks,
