NW5.1 Apache/Tomcat

[Zen for Desktops]

Has any one put together a process for installing GW WA onto a 5.1 Server
with APACHE and TOMCAT. Information that would include configuration
changes for TOMCAT and APACHE.

There's a book on the horizon that will detail this, but no ETA on when it
will be available.

I made no changes to java.cfg. Instead I set the classpath in the tomcat
starup file. As for webacc.cfg, the only change was the path to the
templates.

The real trick for getting Webaccess to work on tomcat is to put the
servlets in the ROOT context, and edit the root's web.xlm to load the
servlets.

Ok I also added it to the java startup file I added
\novel\lib\***;\novell\lib\*** to the end of the class path. I am getting a
error under tomcat. -Ctx ( ) :404 R ( + /servlet/webacc + null)null
I believe that is telling me I have a pointer off..or something like that.
I also tried the web.xlm that you posted for someone else previously. That
made not difference.

Are you using the 1.2.2 or newer JVM? 1.1.7b won't work.

[Zen for Desktops]

I installed it over lunch. I forgot yesterday. So Currently YES!

Where are the servlets installed? Should be in ROOT\WEB-INF\classes

[Zen for Desktops]

sys:tomcat\webapps\ROOT\web-inf\classes then \com\novell\....
Where is the pointer for the servlet path.
Sorry about all the ??? I am a newbie at tomcat.

Ok...I re-extracted tomcat from the nwtomcat.zip folder and fouind I have more files in the new extraction then I did in the old.   INTERESTING.  Well I seem to be better off.  I tried it on a second test server and here is what I have:

Have a look at the portal service install online docu. It will explain all
the necessary changes in the cfg`s

Here is my exact error message from TOMCAT. I have two test servers giving
me the same messages.

This is a definite indication you're running a pre-1.2.2 JVM. Webaccess on
Tomcat will only work with the 1.2.2 or 1.3beta JVMs.

[John M. Fuge]

My java does say 1.22 HOWEVER I notices that my install file is now older
then the one on the site. It is listed at 1.22_006. It also looks to be 2
mb bigger. I will try it out and let you know. THANKS!!

Yes, I'm running 1.2.2.006, which works. You probably had a beta version.
I've tested the Beta 1.3 JVM with WA/Tomcat and it works fine, too.

HI:

We are trying to install the Apache Web Server/Tomcat to support WA v6 and are getting the following message:

-Ctx ( ) :404R (+/servlet/webacc+null)null

There have been a number of postings that indicate that we should update our Java to 1.2.2 (which it is).

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help that you can give.
