Problem Installing Tomcat.4.0.1 on Redhat Linux 7.0
I am new to Linux, Apache and Tomcat. I am trying to install Tomcat 4.0.1. I already have Apache 1.3.12
installed as part of my Redhat Linux 7.0 installation. I downloaded webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz.
1) First I ran gunzip and built the tar file
2) Then I ran tar -xvf webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar to extract the files.
3) Then I followed the instructions in
webapp-module-1.0-tc40/INSTALL.txt
a) I copied mod_webapp.do to my modules directory
/usr/lib/apache
b) I added the LoadModule and AddModule lines to
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf
---> I can't find the apachect1 script. My ServerName is /etc/httpd. This contains directory conf,
and link logs ---> /var/log/httpd, and link modules ---> /usr/lib/apache. There is no apachect1 script file in any of these directories. Also, where are the apache scripts to start and stop apache?
---> Regard the next instructions: do I add the WEBAPPConnection and WebAppDeploy statements to
httpd.conf just they are in the instructions? or do they require modification?
---> I can't find the server.xml file, or any of the directories(bin,conf,doc,lib,logs,webapps) that are supposed to be in
the standard Tomcat setup.
Thanks for your help.

Stan,
The "webapp-module-1.0..." just contains the WebApp connector. You also need
to get either the rpm or the tgz for Tomcat itself. Then you will get the
stuff that you are missing.
In terms of the syntax error, was it something like "Invalid virtual server
name...". This has bee address at least twice on then Tomcat mailing list, but
since the solutions seemed different (again I am not an Apache expert), I am
not sure which approach is best. The first solution was to uncomment the
"ServerName" line.

Thank you, Cynthia, for your response.
1) Regarding the tomcat libraries, that I can't find,
(bin,conf,doc,lib,logs,webapps), I did not install tomcat from a RPM. I used
the binary ( webapp-module-1.0-tc40-linux-glibc2.2.tar.gz.), did the gunzip
and tar extract. I still can't find these directories.
2) After I added th theWebAppConnection and WebAppDeplay lines to
httpd.conf, I got a syntax error on the WebAppDeploy line when I started
tomcat. Maybe it was because there is no /examples directory. Where should
this be?
Thanks.

The script is /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
It uses the standard options of "start", "stop" and "restart".

If you just want to run the examples, then these should work. However, I get an error about "invalid virtual host name". There are various comments in this email archive about how to work arround this.
This last comment that I read was to
uncomment the "ServerName" directive in "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

If you installed Tomcat4 from the rpm, then go to "/var/tomcat4". Also, there was a "tomcat4" startup script installed in "/usr/bin".

I have successfully gotten Tomcat started under RedHat 7.1, but I cannot get mod_webapp to work correctly. The fundamental problem is that the binary version of mod_webapp was not compiled with the
options required to run with the Apache installed with RedHat 7.1. I have tried compiling from source, but so far that has not been successful. Basically, you need more that the source provided with
mod_webapp and even when I downloaded all of the Apache source and tried to compile, it complained about something broken in the "apx" directory.
I hope that those who build mod_webapp will recognize that many of us using Tomcat are basically Java programmers with stock installations of Apache. So we really need a "mod_webapp" that works with
these stock distributions. Also, there seem to be problems with the directions with regard to updating httpd.conf. Perhaps these problems are trivial for Apache experts, but again I do not think that
servlet progammers necessary fall into this category.
So if you do manage to get mod_webapp working with out the "DEAPI" warning, then please post your success story.
Happy Holidays to all,
