2 Tomcat version on single server ? Hi, I have a Linux(RHEL5) dedicated server.Tomcat version 5.x is running integrated with Apache and now i want to install tomcat 6.x integrate with apache without effecting older tomcat version. it will run as it is. How can i do this and if yes then how can i set tomcat home path for both versions. CATALINA_HOME= and how to install it. Thank you.

Regarding installation , just down load the .tar.gz file of new tomcat version from tomcat.apache.org[/url] and will just need to extract that zipped file.Now you can run both 5 and 6 version at the server , for that just make sure to change the connector port of tomact 6 from default 8080 because your 5 version might be using that one i.e. just make sure that both are running at different ports. __________________ Aun Muhammad Razawww.aunraza.net

You will need to check logs of catalina for identifying the cause of problem.Do tail -f catalina.out file which is there in logs folder of tomcat and then start the server.You will see the error messages there.From these logs , we will be able to identify where the problem is. __________________ Aun Muhammad Razawww.aunraza.net

Make sure you have totally separate installations and, as Aun Muhammad indicated, make sure you have changed the ports to be different. The default Tomcat out of the box listens on three ports (defined in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml): 8005 - the "server" port, usually used for shutdown commands (see the port definition in the Server stanza of server.xml) 8080 - the normal HTTP connector port 8009 - the AJP 1.3 port. All of these ports must be different between the two installations. If you're using Apache httpd in front of Tomcat you can set up connections to the different ports depending on if you're splitting by virtual host or web application. __________________Need Java help?
