Please help - tomcat instalation

["billCC.com (Sales)" <sa...@billcc.com>]

I am trying to install tomcat on linux.
And I have done this:
 
I have unzipped the jakarta-tomcat directory that looks like this right now:
 
drwxrwxr-x 8 admin admin 4096 Nov 20 01:09 .

drwxrwxr-x 3 admin admin 4096 Nov 20 00:54 ..

-rw-rw-r-- 1 admin admin 2876 Apr 18 2000 LICENSE

drwxrwxr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 bin

drwxrwxr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 conf

drwxrwxr-x 4 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 doc

drwxrwxr-x 3 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 lib

drwxrwxr-x 4 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 src

drwxrwxr-x 2 admin admin 4096 Apr 18 2000 webapps



Then I did set env. variables 

PATH is equal to 

/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin

There are other paths, but they do not matter I guess.

Then I did set JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3

Then I have TOMCAT_HOME=/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat

where tomcat is installed. and java home is /usr/java/jdk1.3

When I run startup.sh I get just this:

Using classpath: .:/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/lib/ant.jar:/home/admin/ja
karta/jakarta-tomcat/lib/jasper.jar:/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/lib/servl
et.jar:/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/lib/test:/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-t
omcat/lib/webserver.jar:/home/admin/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/lib/xml.jar:/usr/java
/jdk1.3/lib/tools.jar

And then I get unix prompt again... and nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong ?

There is one little remark though, my /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin directory looks like this:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 13 Aug 24 10:27 java -> .java_wrapper

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 2080 Sep 19 02:39 java-rmi.cgi



lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 13 Aug 24 10:27 javac -> .java_wrapper

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root bin 13 Aug 24 10:27 javadoc -> .java_wrapper

There is no real files, only these links... is that wrong ?

How can I fix that ? I installed jdk1.3 using rpm and that is what was created.

All help is very appreciated... THANKS !!!

Your JAVA_HOME/bin output is the same as mine... it links to
.java_wrapper.  I can't see where you're going wrong.  It looks ok to
me.  After you run startup.sh just watch the console and watch the
output.  If you have a slow machine maybe it's taking a while.

What do you mean by "nothing happens"?  Do you mean you can't
connect to Tomcat from the Web browser and view the example pages?  More
detail is needed to debug things, so far your experience sounds like
what I would expect, so you'll have to indicate what exactly isn't
working as expected.

By the way, your JDK install is correct; the symlinks are supposed to be
there, that's just the way Sun constructed their JDK (one binary with a
set of wrappers and symlinks).
