[cobalt-developers] Tomcat installed but not working (fixed now)

[Jay Nelson <jay@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So much for the long-winded question.  I was quite
frustrated after two days of fiddling.  I uninstalled
everything, removed a commented out section in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf that I had been working
on 6 months ago when I tried to install tomcat by
hand, and lo and behold it worked.

When the tomcat pkg is installed the script searches
the httpd.conf for a comment line with the word
Tomcat.  If it already exists, the httpd.conf file
is not updated so as to avoid reinserting the
configuration updates and leaving duplicate entries.
My old comments to myself caused the installer
to skip updating the httpd.conf file.

This time around I got a clean install, the httpd.conf
was updated, and the server threads were all running
nicely when the install completed.  I put the test.war
application in my main directory, restarted and the
jsp files seem to be working.  I also verified that the
security update is working just fine for the WEB-INF
and META-INF directories.  Thanks for the help and
sorry for the pointless messages on the email list.

Now let's hope tomorrow I can get my test servlet working!
