I've found about a dozen different ways to skin this cat (no pun intended). Everything from creating a script in /etc/init.d/ to using jsvc. I was hoping someone out there, those of you out there who run Tomcat in this manner, how did *you* set this up? I can't seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or even direction to an authoritative document. Preston

Trying to get my wife's emails out of a proprietary format and into mbox for use on our local box. Doing some major file munging. In a test email the following doesn't work.

Guys, I'm running into a dependecy issue running through the process of building a system for Openbravo. My test system's running CentOS 4.4, i386. Openbravo requires... - Jakarta-Tomcat version 5.5. It can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org/ - Java (TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0. It can be downloaded from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp - Oracle(r) 10g

So I've been trying to use this site and the daemon script here. http://www.linuxjava.net/howto/webapp/#tomcat It works so far. I mean, at least the server starts, I can get to the site, etc. So far, so good. The only problem is, for some reason when I start tomcat using root everything runs fine. When I start tomcat using this script, however, I get this.... FATAL [http-8080-Processor25]

I know this may be a stupid place to ask, but I have to ask. I'm looking for a new Linux distro to use and support. I've been a loyal purchaser of SuSE Linux Pro for the last 3 years. I've paid my $90 loyally, in part because I wanted money to actually go to someone working on OSS, but also because I thought it was a good bargain, to get a quality, tested distro for that cost. The

My wife does and here's the problem. It automatically mounts the flash memory of the player. But it doesn't mount the SD card slot. I used Ubuntu 5.10 recently and it mounted both of them. Both as separate USB sticks. How do I get CentOS to do the same thing? Or can it not discern that two USB flash devices are plugged in? Preston

I'm trying to use my copy and whenever I reboot I have to reconfigure everything again using vmware-config.pl. Any idea why I might have to do this? Is there something about the way services are setup under CentOS 4 or something? Preston

Does anyone here use a multi-button (as in more than 2) mouse with Linux? How well supported are they? I've had to get one recently for work. I was diagnosed with CTS and I now wear braces and use a wireless Intellimouse. Works great at work with Windows, but I'm unsure how much, if any support there is for Linux. Anyone have experience with this? Preston

Is this possible. I did my first one yesterday in order to get my iPod mini to work with the EL kernel. It worked well. Everything went smoothly, but I don't like what I named it. So I'd like to take one more shot at it. If I do, is there a way to remove the old one cleanly? Modules and everything. Also, if do recompile the kernel again, do I need fresh source, or can I just do a make

I'm wondering because it seems to be slowing my machine down considerably under CentOS 5. Especially the daemon they include to monitor SELinux and the program that attaches to it. I tried opening this earlier and it just sat there spinning. I want the knowledge that my machine is secure and safe. But I'm wondering if the price is worth it. Is it necessary for my machine to be fairly

So I got a new Pocket PC this weekend (yes, you read that right, sorry, don't like the Palms on offer currently and I can at least install software on it via Windows on VMWare). One of the main things I wanted to do with it is get Audible.com again and listen to All Things Considered from NPR on the way home like I used to. Now I find out they not only don't have an agreement with Audible

Hi, I was wondering if there is a rpm package for java (jre) to centos 4.x or do I have to get from sun/ibm/blackdown ? tks.

I know they have software that does this. I'm just not sure which one it is. Basically here's the scoop. I'm on a cable modem connection with Comcast. I have a firewall router and I run a firewall on CentOS as well. All the same, other computers (probably zombies or hackers) are attempting brute force attacks on a couple of ports on my computer. I've just sat and watched them for

I installed Suns Java but I don't know how to find where it installed to. Can someone tell me how to find it? Someone told me to do a Find -name java -print But all I got was a message saying I had mail. When I looked in the mail it was a log with a bunch of jibberish. Any clue what to do now? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

So I did a fresh install today. Decided to go ahead and upgrade. Everything seems okay save for three problems. #1 - I get a message during boot saying that an Intel microcode update didn't work. Something about not being able to find /proc/microcode. #2 - I can't use the Firefox extension HTML Parser. Anyone use this. #3 - Off and on GDM crashes and I get dropped into a prompt. Any

Is there an easy way to reject all incoming packets except those that come from certain IPs? I can't find any way via iptables or via the GUI provided with CentOS (or another GUI for CentOS) without having to resort to Shorewall. It's fine if the answer is "go with Shorewall". I just didn't want to have to become a Shorewall expert for this really small task. Any help/advice

Hi I am try to write rpm spec for install tomcat on a linux machine.But while build the rpm i found following error + /usr/lib/rpm/find-debuginfo.sh --strict-build-id /home/rpmbuild/BUILD/Install_tomcat-1.0 extracting debug info from /home/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/Install_tomcat-1.0-1.el6.x86_64/usr/local/jdk1.7.0_13/lib/visualvm/profiler/lib/deployed/jdk16/linux-amd64/libprofilerinterface.so ***

Someone got ahold of my information (actually, I know who they are - t2net.net - just not how to get back at them) and now I'm getting 4 phone calls a week upwards of 20 spams a day. I'm trying to put an end to the spam at least and the built-in stuff for Evolution isn't working as well as it should I did some Googling on procmail and fetchmail and spamassassin config files and much

Have the jpackage-packaged things like tomcat5 been moved into the disto repositories? Do they work with sun java? In particular, tomcat5 used to require jta. The one yum installs doesn't mention it now, but it also doesn't work with sun java 1.5 installed the jpackage way. What am I missing? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Just popped back on the list because I was curious about this. I've read the information about virtualization and other new features. I'm just wondering (as someone who installed CentOS 2 years ago and basically hasn't thought much about it my OS other than using it since then) if any piece of it except for virtualization got updated significantly enough to consider an upgrade.
