I started firing up Tomcat with su -c "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start" in the
admin shell
and it drops me out clean.  And I tried to hit enter and I don't need to
control-c.
Thanks.

No telnet connection.  I tried with 'enable shell accounts' on and off in
the Cobalt site
settings.  I had shell accounts set to off on all the tld/IPs on my server
and was using
only SSH, but now I see that telnet is checked off as ON on all the
accounts.
But now it is not working.  SSH works fine tho.  I don't know if this has
anything
to do with Tomcat listening on a port that I can telnet into.  Seems odd
that telnet
is broken, but was A-OK before the Cobalt Java package went in.

I dropped a test.jsp page into the web root and it doen't do anything except
spit out
static variables. I DID re-read the docs that came with the Cobalt package
and they
say that I need an Apache module named mod_jserv.  No module by that name
rings
a bell in my digging into the scripts.  There is mod_jk, but no mod_jserv.
Do I need that?
<I'm getting real tired - sorry if I come across as a slacker on doing my
homework>

I took another look at the Tomcat 4.0.1 distribution and using with with
Cocoon2, if I remember right,
is recommended to only operate under HTTP/1.0.  I need HTTP/1.1 for my
mod_gizip,
so that may not be in the cards for here.

Sounds too edgy for me, especially in my current state of mind.  I'd be
happy if I could run a
'hello world' jsp here.  I'm trying to get this all rigged up to deliver xml
data on my main site,
and at this point I'd like Tomcat to just behave.  I'll go get some sleep
and try again tomorrow,
as I'm on "vacation" - getting plenty of R&R. <smile>.

Before I go any further, I ought to get up to speed on all the Tomcat
releases.  It seems that they
are shotgunning versions out.

Thanks a bunch for the help and insight.

-regards
