Topic: Problems installing Tomcat

[Olsen]

I have been trying to install Tomcat on SME 6.0.1

I have tried using David Helmuth's How To, but the address he has posted for the download of tomcat is not correct.  I keep getting errors.  

I tried downloading Tomcat 5.0 from Jakarta website and put it on a cd.  Tried to unzip the .gz file on the server, and it gave me a multitude of Cannot Mkdir: No such file or directory.

I am a novice and do not know where to go from here.

I am getting the same errors when I try to install phpmyadmin as well.  

Can anyone help?  I need tomcat to execute JSP that I develop for my company.  I need phpmyadmin to Administer the database.

How are you installing the PHPmyadmin?  Have you downloaded the RPM from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nightspirit/e-smith-phpmyadmin/

Once you download the RPM, you can use the Update system option in the server manager web page, or run the commands at the command line as outlined in the readme.  This should work as I updated my SME 6.0.1 system yesterday and it works fine.

Don't know much about Tomcat though.

Olsen,

Just want to let you know that for me:
http://www.helmuth.net/
http://computer1.dyndns.org/mitel-sme/Tomcat/tomcat-v4.0_Apache-howto.htm
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/webapp.html
...all work fine

Note: He's on dial-in (dyndns) so may not be online all the time.

I have tried several times to use the update system tool on the server manager, but everytime I do.  The content frame on the page just shows an "Action Cancelled" page and does not appear to have worked.  Dont know why though.

In response to Reinhold The tomcat Apache how to is what I was following.  The command that I type in to download the file from jakarta will not work, I keep getting an error "Transfer terminated"  and it errors out.  I dont know what could cause this problem since I have installed other rpm's from websites in the past couple of days.  

Thanks for both of the responses, but I dont seem to be any further along.  I have tried updating the server from the command, and from the online server manager.

I found that I have an older version of phpmyadmin installed, but when I type http://xxxxxxxxx.com/phpmyadmin  I get a page that says I am not autorized to view the page.....why would that come up?

Olsen,

use wget
...right from your SME prompt
...or use a downloader programm
IE6 has too short a timeout all too often
RECOMMENDATION: Use Firefox-Browser
It's built-in downloader made me dump getright on Windows machines.

oops forget your new question

its:
https://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin
using the admin login/password

Got it?

[Olsen]

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge about linux, but what would I type in at the command to use the wget feature?

thanks for your help.

[Olsen]

Reinhold!
That url worked. Thanks for the tidbit however I get an error that says "Cannot connect to MySQL database"

What would cause that.  

**Making headway**
thanks!

access phpmyadmin via https://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin using the admin login/password

[Reinhold]

Olsen,

since you are making headway  

"man wget"
or
"wget --help"

stuff like this (almost) always works on the linux commandline.

And the short version for your install (logged into your test-sme, in a new dir):
"wget http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/archives/v4.0.2-b2/rpms/mod_webapp-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm"
and you will get the stuff... then
"rpm -Uvh mod_webapp* "

Got it?

Reinhold

note: do not use "

All I am getting is a "binindex.cgi" file

Did jakarta move the file to another directory?

[Olsen]

Ok. I have tomcat jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19 downloaded.

When I did a "wget" I was logged in as [root@server root] Where do I need to put this file and where do I go from here?

[Olsen]

Ok,
I installed j2sdk-1.4.1_07

but when I try to install tomcat I get these errors.
