jserv fine, tomcat de-Nada... ?

[jhager <jh...@isitedesign.com>]

howdy,

on apache1.3.12
redhat2.0
tomcat 3.1 but the /jserv/ folder says 'tomcat 1.0'...

the tomcat jserv module (it says tomcat1.0 even though it is supposed to be
the latest build) is running,
i can see the jserv-status servlet fine.  however, tomcat appears to not be
accessible.  is there a simple
test path to tomcat (like /jserv/) which will instantly let me know if its
running?  i see the java thread in the ps
list, but nothing under /examples/, when i am pretty confident the conf
files are good.

notice the ERR=13: Permission Denied?  when the vm files are wide open, any
user should be able to execute...

tomcat, even tho running, isn't writing any log info when i am sure the conf
files are setup properly, but jserv writes plenty...
here's the jserv.log listing where it appears to be erring out:

[10/08/2000 15:23:27:696] (INFO) wrapper: Java VM restarting (PID=10610)

so to recap, jserv runs fine, tomcat is nowhere, i know plenty about
servlets and java, lite on linux, but the tomcat docs are slightly scattered
and sometimes contradictory... so i post this message...

any ideas plz...

thnx, john.
