Hi ! I have an updated SuSE 10.0 Novell DVD installation. I have checked TODAY for last updates, a i'm up2date I'm trying to use Tomcat5. tomcat is using: rpm -qf /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_07-1.1 At first, I had this problem about a .pid file. I added this to the /etc/sysconfig/j2ee export CATALINA_PID="/var/run/tomcat/tomcat5.pid" and Tomcat5 started succesfully, but ... now i go to http://localhost:8080 and my browser doesn't display anything at all. Weird thing ... if i type this command as ROOT: /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs= -classpath /usr/lib/jvm/java/lib/tools.jar:/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/share/tomcat5/bin/commons-logging-api.jar::/usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j-jmx.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Dcatalina.home=/usr/share/tomcat5 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/usr/share/tomcat5/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start everything is OK and my browser display tomcat welcome page. The weird thing is that i took this command from a: ps aux | grep tomcat when tomcat5 is "running" If i run the same command as TOMCAT user, it doesn't display anything. Do you think it's a simple matter of file owners ? What would you think the diference is between my long command line and do a "rctomcat5 start" ???
