Tomcat 4.0

[Rob_Hooper]

I am trying to get Tomcat 4.0 running on a SUSE 7.2 Linux machine.

I have downloaded the latest JDK from the Sun Web site and set up JAVA_HOME to point to this directory.

I then downloaded the latest Tomcat 4 binary from the Apache web site.

when I run ./startup.sh I do not get any error message

The output from startup/shutdown is as follows.

robsuse:/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/bin # ./startup.sh
Using CLASSPATH: /jakarta-tomcat-4.0/bin/bootstrap.jar:/jdk1.3.1_01/lib/tools.jar
Using CATALINA_BASE: /jakarta-tomcat-4.0

Using JAVA_HOME: /jdk1.3.1_01

I have checked netstat -a and there is nothing listening on 8080 and when I type ps -aux there is no listing of tomcat or catalina
:confused:

Any help that any one could give me would be much appreciated, as I would like my life back.

I can't really be of much help, but if you're interested in TomCat, there's an EXCELLENT article in this months (probably last month's by now) linux magazine. I have it at home and its worth buying.

When I go home I can get the data and issue number if you like..
