RE: [cobalt-developers] Upgrading Cobalt JDK to Tomcat 4

["Alexander Povargo" <alpo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have Tomcat 4.0.3 installed on one of my Cobalt RaQ4. I don't install
Cobalt JDK to this server, I install Sun's JDK 1.4.0 and install Tomcat
4.0.3. 
But if you have Cobalt JDK already you can:
- install Tomcat to another location, for example: /home/java/tomcat
- configure server.xml for virtual hosting by Tomcat docs
- correct /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat.init: remove or comment this line of
tomcat.init:
perl $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/cobalt_config.pl
and adjust paths to new Tomcat location if need
- open httpd.conf and comment all "system" calls in Tomcat section of
httpd.conf, correct Include directives to include mod_jk.conf and
workers.properties to new Tomcat location and files
- check if you have /etc/profile.d/tomcat.sh and /etc/profile.d/java.sh
and correct paths if need.

OK, you are ready. 
- Stop old Tomcat with killall java
- Start Tomcat 4 with /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat.init start
- Check your system

If all is right and working, you can remove /usr/java/Jakarta-tomcat
directory and link /etc/rc.d/init.d/tomcat.init to run levels 2, 3 and 5
with chkconfig utility - it is need to start Tomcat when you reboot
server. 

Hope it help to you.
