Hi Folks,
I finally am ready to test by application on Fedora using Eclipse and I am at the point where I am trying to run my web-application using Tomcat.
Of course, the Tomcat dialog box pops up and asks where the Tomcat installation directory is.... ugh.... I have NO CLUE!
On windows, Tomcat is installed by Eclipse so I dont have to figure this out.... but on Fedora, seems like I do.
Can someone tell me what to do?
Well, I don't know what dialog box this is, but on Fedora the Tomcat installation directory (CATALINA_HOME) is /usr/share/tomcat5/.
Cheers, Gary
Hmmm.. ok, so I have that - but this did not help.
The specific dialog box appears when you attempt to run the web-application project (RunAs->Run on Server) and you are then to choose the application server (tomcat 4,5,5.5) and provide the tomcat installation directory otherwise you cannot run the application. I entered the pathname of /usr/share/tomcat5 and it does not allow me to continue. I tried different tomcat versions (5.0, 5.5) and neither worked.
So- I am stuck - and cannot even get my application to run at this time. Any ideas?
Is it trying to launch tomcat itself? That won't work as it's supposed to run as root (or the tomcat user or whatever).
