SOLVED?: Connection refused after installing Cocoon + X11 comment s

[da...@idl-bt.com]

Hi

I ma have solved this problem - certainly I had the same issue:
 # tomcat4 run
started tomcat fine; I waited a while (minutes!) the made a req to
http://tc/
Worked fine, tomcat4 demos fine
Then a connection to /cocoon/
Instant death!
All the tomcat4 processes died - no errors no (useful) logs - just X11
connection closed...

This was a virgin RH7.2 install on an SMP i386 machine.
I had downloaded suns jdk1.3.1_01 to /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01
installed the tomcat4 noarch rpm to /var/tomcat4 (nb someone fix the
/etc/passwd entry for the tc4 user - the homedir is /var/tomcat not
/var/tomcat4 - also need a chown -R tomcat4.tomcat4 /var/tomcat4)

The cocoon binary failed (haven't retried) so I did a build.sh from the
source.

Then I had the problem described above: (search fodder :)
cocoon2 died after one request
no tomcat4 instances running
no error messages

I had X working (xhost+ over SSH etc) - but it took a while to realise that
this fails after a su to tomcat4 :(

After much log reading we tried the 'headless' install using jpa - nb there
were few clues that this was it and the fact that X was working kinda
red-herring'ed us)
This (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/installing/index.html) suggested jpa from
www.eteks.com 
I installed the .jars to /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/fre/lib/ext as Sun suggest -
this failed to work with class loading problems.
We then explicitly unjarred the pja.jar to a new classes directory that we
had to create in /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/jre 
(ie mkdir /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/jre/classes)
Cocoon then worked :)


I hope this helps...

Looking forward to some serious work now :)

Yes, I think you are right. I tried again and checked 
whether Tomcat was still running after the attempt to 
access Cocoon. It was not.

See attachments. (The log files comprise two subsequent 
Tomcat sessions)

Thanks again,
