A guide for setting up Tomcat 5 using Sun Java 1.4.2 on RedHat Enterprise Linux using JPackage.org RPM files. Apache 2.0 with mod_jk will also be configured to provide access to Tomcat from Apache.
If you have any comments or feedback on this guide please leave comments on my blog.
This guide is current as of 8th February 2006. It uses JPackage 1.6. Througout I reference full path names that include versions, these will without a doubt change as the JPackage team makes progress, you can always find full paths and links on their site.
- I am using CentOS 4.2 as my development platform, it is a RedHat Entperise clone, on RedHat Enterprise itself you will need to configure YUM to use this guide.
I have a local Yum repository and this guide will put locally build RPM's into this repository. It is out of the scope of this article to detail the setup of such a repository though you can find a rough guide here.
