Topic: Tomcat Installation

[grahowler]

Hi Folks

I've just been attempting a Tomcat installation and I've been following David S. Helmuth's how to's. They have been excellent in that I have been able to get the Java SDK up and running with absolutely no problems (http://www.helmuth.net/mitel-sme/SunJDK/sunjdk-howto.htm) and the Tomcat setup (http://www.helmuth.net/mitel-sme/Tomcat/tomcat-v4.0-howto.htm) looks to be reasonably straight forward except I have run into one major stumbling block at step 0.1!

Obviously David's how to's are a little dated now and the links to the rpm's are no longer valid. Now this might seem like a stipid question, and it probably is, but I am not sure where the relevant place is to get the current downloads. I've hunted around the Jakarta site (http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi) and perhaps I am a little slow ATM but I can't figure out what the relevant download is at the moment. Perhaps I am displaying a lack of knowledge but I guess I gotta learn somehow.

I've had a read of Kevin Yank's article here, http://www.sitepoint.com/article/jsp-quick-start-guide-linux but it is nothing like David's, has nothing like running rpm's, so I am not sure if it is relevant to SME.

So, if you have the links to the current rpm's and/or info relevant to SME I would be most grateful.

Also, I am wondering if anyone has been through a more recent Tomcat setup that may have any more feedback to provide that would be fantastic.

After installing Tomcat I am moving on to an Open CMS setup so if anyone is interested in hearing about that I am more than happy to pass on some feedback about how that turns out as well. Hopefully it won't end up driving me to  

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm running Tomcat 4.1 on SME 6.01 and it's working fine.
I have a problem with Netscape 7.1 in the Admin section:
I can't see the form controls when inserting a new user.
IE 6 works fine. Any ideas wy this is so?
Regards,
Ernesto
