Tomcat and apache issue

[sun_os]

Dear All,

I install the RHEL 5.5, run the apache and tomcat first time.

I can find the configuration path but no package install anymore.  It is no error during the installation

May I know what is the issue?

Thank you very much

Cheers,

Do you know your way around RedHat 5.5? If so look to see if the Apache Service is installed and running.

Also this shows the path to default install for Apache on Linux. You will likely need to go here and edit your httpd.conf file to enable/disable modules and configure IP and ports etc.

Hi DaveLembke,

I use the binary to install the APACHE

./configure --prefix=/opt
make
make install

I can see the path, but no package was installed

Interesting... which version of Apache did you use? and is there anything in the httpd.conf that I see located in your screenshot at      [root@RHEL conf]#     where ls lists extra httpd.conf magic mime.types original

The httpd.conf you should be able to open with a text editor like VI and see configuration info for Apache

Also was the binary a good one with a good checksum?

Also if you run  ....  service httpd status
Does it show the Apache service running in background?

Interesting that it appears to have started an installation and didnt successfully complete with all contents. I am not familiar specifically with RHEL5.5, and primarily work with Mint and occasionally with Fedora, so I am going to direct you to this link here that shows what should work for installation steps.

I'd go in and do some manual clean up before attempting this though this way there is no possibility of version creep from remnants of the failed install mixing with the new install. Deleting the contents that were dropped from the failed install, and then performing this should be good enough to start back at a clean slate.

Hi

I installed the Apache , tomcat and Java , they are all installed success on the platform, but i can't see they are start up services.

I don't know what happen on my os .  You give me the link to install tomcat, I check it should be correct installed previously . It is the same

Hmm... would it be troublesome to reinstall fresh RHEL 5.5 and then try again clean to see if we end up at the same problem?
Its very strange that your having this issue.

On other OS's installation is simple and flawless. My problem here is that I havent played with Red Hat in years, starting with Slackware 1997, then Red Hat 6.0 around 1999, then Fedora ( Core 2 thru version 6 ), and then tried Ubuntu for a short while, but found Mint more to my liking. I havent had the fun of playing with Red Hat Enterprise Linux yet to know if we are missing something important. To me it should be as easy as installing via RPM and configuring the config files etc and should work fairly easily.

Doing some searching and reading, it appears that there is no need to install from an external binary source as for RHEL already comes with what you need. Found this... " Apache Tomcat is distributed as part of both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat JBoss Web Server." at this site: https://access.redhat.com/blogs/766093/posts/781133

So it should be an option in the GUI of the Red Hat features to enable when installing it at the get go, or added after the fact through the same manager built into the OS.

OKAY

I try to install it again first.

Thank you for your help

Glad to help... I am hoping that if you go with the version that is built into RHEL5.5 and select it to be installed/active from the program manager that this will resolve this for you as for maybe there is a mismatch in compatibility between the RHEL5.5 and that binary you were using of some sort. 

If this works for you, then you can update the version that came with  RHEL5.5 performing a normal update process to secure it etc as for the version that came initially with RHEL5.5 has likely had security updates since release.

I re-install to fix it.

Thank you all of your guys to reply message

[DaveLembke]

Glad to hear a reinstall fixed it =)
