Copy and paste the following script into your text editor:
# This is the init script for starting up the # Jakarta Tomcat server # # chkconfig: 345 91 10 # description: Starts and stops the Tomcat daemon. # # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Get config. . /etc/sysconfig/network # Check that networking is up. [ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0 tomcat=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat startup=$tomcat/bin/startup.sh shutdown=$tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk start(){ echo -n $"Starting Tomcat service: " #daemon -c $startup RETVAL=$? echo } stop(){ action $"Stopping Tomcat service: " $shutdown RETVAL=$? echo } restart(){ stop start } # See how we were called. case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; status) # This doesn't work ;) status tomcat ;; restart) restart ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}" exit 1 esac exit 0 Edit the lines that start with tomcat and export to match where you installed tomcat and your jdk. 2. Save to /etc/init.d and chmod Save the edited file above to /etc/init.d directory as "tomcat" (at least on most newer releases since /etc/init.d is a standard now). Then you have to allow execute access to the script, so run: chmod a+x tomcat On 26/04/11 3:53 PM, "TSGX" <cy...@yahoo.com.sg> wrote: Hi guys, I am currently using redhat enterprise linux version 4 update 6. I installed apache tomcat in my test server and it is working (it says that it is installed when i put localhost:8080 in my browser). Now I have 2 questions that I would like to ask. The first is, how do I configure my tomcat such that it starts once the server is booted up? Is there a website that has step-by-step method? Can anyone recommend? And I am a newbie in linux, so I would appreciate very much if the steps are rather simplified (if a website is not provided) The second issue is when I tried to click on the function buttons like server status, manager app and host manager, the browser prompts me to authenticate my username and password. When I can't, it goes to a page which displays the Error 401. And by following the steps, it instructs me to change the contents in tomcat-users.xml. I did so and checked and make sure my code was correct and there were no <--- and ---> to comment off the codes. But still, the authentication don't work. What should I do? Does anyone know?
