Struts installation problems
Hi,
just installed struts on os x panther (10.3), or should I say trying to!
I am running apache 2, tomcat, cocoon with no problems. My problem is
installing Struts (AHHHHHH!!!!)
Now, following the install document it says to copy
"struts-documentation.war" and "struts-example.war" to your
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory. Done that.
On restarting tomcat, a file called tomcat-apache.conf should be
generated and placed in my $TOMCAT_HOME/conf directory. Nope, this is
not happening. I thought that there might be a write privilege issue
with the folder, but got no joy with that. What am I doing wrong??
Would I be right in thinking that the tomcat-apache.conf file is not
specific, in the sense that it doesn't captures machine specific data
and is just a generic file? If so, could one of you kind people send me
the file so I can get on with the rest of my life, please??? ;-)
Uzo
p.s.
Setup specific is:
1. complete Apache 2.0.48 (from Server Logistics -
www.serverlogistics.com)
2. complete Jakarta Tomcat (from Server Logistics)
3. Apache Coccoon (from Server Logistics)
4. Struts 1.2 (from jakarta.apache.org)

Pedro,
thanks for your reply. Could I get a copy of your tomcat-apache.conf
just to examine what it looks like?
cheers

Finally someone else who uses mac. :)
I am also using Tomcat 4.1.27 (not from ServerLogistics) but with the
Apache that comes with Apple with no problems...
Maybe it would be best to ask ServerLogistics what's is the problem since
it seems that is a setup/configuration problem...
By the way, Struts 1.2 is the development version not the final release
version... In case you didn't notice.
