[cobalt-developers] Tomcat installed but does not automatically run

[Jay Nelson <jay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been flipping through the archives and other people
seem to have installed the RaQ3 tomcat pkg and the update
and then just restarted their httpd and tomcat magically starts.

My /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file has no new entries in it.
There is a /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat.init script that I have to use
to start tomcat, which appears to start OK, but I cannot get
any response when using http://www.mysite.com:8007/ or
by moving the webapps.inactive directory to webapps so
that it is installed as /admin /examples and /test   I have
restarted httpd after starting tomcat, and I see that all the
WEB-INF directories are present.  The startup indicates
that all the virtual sites are recognized and that ApJserv is
on 8007.

What is the quick and easy way to see that tomcat is responding?

Where do I hook in the tomcat.init script in startup to get
things going, as a symbolic link in rc3.d or by inserting it
into the httpd script?

Does the pkg install really hook things into the right places so
that httpd restart gets things going?  If so should I uninstall
and rerun the pkg and see that the httpd.conf is changed?

(I have modified my httpd.conf because I turned on hostname
lookup and I added an SSL certificate.  But that has been in
place for over a year.)
