Description Kees 2004-05-04 12:42:36 UTC

Description of problem:

After installing tomcat (tomcat-4.1.27-12, httpd-2.0.49-3) it starts 
correctly (from /var/log/tomcat/tomcat.out):

Bootstrap: Create Catalina server
StandardClassLoader: gcjlib URL support enabled (prefix="gcjlib:")
Created catalinaLoader in: /usr/share/tomcat/server/lib
[INFO] Registry - -Loading registry information
[INFO] Registry - -Creating new Registry instance
[INFO] Registry - -Creating MBeanServer
Bootstrap: Starting service

[INFO] JkMain - -Jk running ID=0 time=20/40

Bootstrap: Service started


Then in the browser I type: http://127.0.0.1:8009/
I get a 404. And this is added to the log:

Could you try this using tomcat-4.1.27-13 please?

Comment 2 Kees 2004-05-07 16:57:20 UTC

Hi,
I yum erased all the tomcat stuff and installed the binary 4.1.30 from
jakarta.apache.org. That works.
I think the problem may be caused by mixing packages from the jpackage
repository since I needed eclipse.
I will install FC2t3 in a VM and I'll try again soon.

Comment 3 Kees 2004-05-07 18:18:24 UTC

Tried -13. Same problem.

Comment 4 Gary Benson 2004-05-10 16:37:35 UTC

Doh, I must have been asleep when I looked at this before.  Tomcat in
FC2 is set up to listen for AJP 1.3 connections on port 8009, and you
need to connect to it using mod_jk2.  If you need to use HTTP directly
then you should enable the appropriate connector in
/etc/tomcat/server.xml and restart tomcat.
