Tomcat5 Engine/Host config, was: Re: M1 problem -- velocity tools?

[Randy Watler <rw...@finali.com>]

John,

I would get things working with Catalina/localhost first... changing the 
Engine name and Host name so that the installation and deployer function 
properly is apparently not trivial. The maven.xml quickStart goal 
appears to assume Catalina/localhost. So, you'd have to move things 
around in the tomcat5 conf directory to get it configured properly, 
(before tomcat5 is started). Then, you'd have to probably use 
override.properties to specify your engine to replace Catalina specified 
in jetspeed.properties, (of course, the host name is specified in your 
custom build.properties).

Instead of going through all of this, I am going to try to use 
Catalina/localhost with an Alias for the production host name specified 
in the tomcat5 Host definition. I might clean this up a bit for the next 
J2 milestone release if I get a chance and we can come up with a cleaner 
implementation.

Thanks for hanging in there!

Randy

Sorry, I wasn't very clear -- I had to change them for a project I had 
been working on which is now over. When I went to install M1 I got the 
errors. I reinstalled everything (i.e. back to the TC defaults) and now 
JS2 works fine. I don't need those changes anymore so this is no longer 
an issue.

It would be nice if there wasn't a dependency on Catalina/localhost but, 
for me at least, everything is better now.  :)
