OK, I've looked at the post about installing a hack to have jsp support on a per site basis. One of the first lines is: my($tomcat_home,$tim,@sites,$ip,$path,@users); I'm assuming that $tim, @sites, $ip, $path and @users need to be changed to something that means something to my server but I'm not sure what. The problem that I had was when I installed Tomcat from a pkg it started loads of processes and ground the server to a halt about once a week. Is this hack likely to solve this? http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-developers/2002-January/035309.html Any ideas please?
Hi Andy,I run Tomcat 4.04 on RaQ4s. I installed from tar.gz files from jakarta.apache.org. Lots of configuration tweaks, but if you really want to run a stable Java system, this is the way to go!
I did not like the Tomcat package from Sun/Cobalt for the specific reasons you have stated: too many threads running looking to serve EVERY virtual host on the server. This is because the 3.xx Jakarta/Tomcat version inherited this problem from the previous JServ implementations. The 4.x versions fix that.
I should state that I run my Cobalt RaQ Java servers with 512MB ram always!I can send a document to you to outline our howto. HOWEVER! Be certain you can still obtain the Jakarta/Tomcat 4.04 implementation prior to a request for the document. Tomcat is under considerable revision/development and any other version would require different tweaks.
Cheers, Glenn
