tomcat refuses to run..

[John Hager <ro...@inetarena.com>]

RH6.2
tomcat3.1
jdk1.3(beta_refresh)
apache

Its not a classpath issue, i can see the java threads and tomcat appears to
startup fine, however it never logs anything, port 8080 is not there, and
none of the WAR files get extracted, nor are there any auto-files
generated..  what's up with tomcat at this point?  is it not really running
when these symptoms appear?

with JServ the status servlet works fine, but i am confused as to whether
the JServ port and the tomcat port should be the same?  the docs are
contradictory, sometimes it says they shouldn't have the same ports ?  i'm
getting nowhere with documentation.

my jserv log file says '(EMERGENCY) ajp12: can not connect to host
xxxxx:8007'

i have yet after 5 days to get a single tomcat response... do i manually
extract WAR files, i don't need any symlinks from the apache htdocs root, so
is there some setup piece i am missing?   i include the tomcat.conf file and
the conf files in general seem fine.

thanks,
