not reading my /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf file
Hi,
I'm running CentOS 5 with Tomcat5 (5.5.2.0) that came with the install.
If I try to run dtomcat5 stop or version etc I get the following message
below - I have also pasted the tomcat5.conf file below- it is obvious that
dtomcat5 is not reading the /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf file - what do I have
wrong? Am I going about starting/stopping/getting versions for tomcat the
wrong way? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have updated the /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf file to read as follows:

Thanks - I did as you suggested and have a new Tomcat5 and JVM running -
without any problems so far!
Thanks so much,
Kimberly

I concur that that's the easiest way to do this. However, if you MUST
work with 3rd party repackaged tomcat (or 3rd party repackaged distro
versions of anything for that matter), the Cent OS forums would probably
be the best place to ask.

I'd strongly recommend you throw that away and download and install a
real Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org. The 3rd-party repackaged
versions give no end of headaches.
You may also need to install a real JVM; some of the Linux distributions
come with GNU Java, and that is not suitable for any real work.
