For some reason, tomcat5.5 will not start on port 8180 as documented.

The log has nothing to say. But the named pipe (/var/log/tomcat5.5/out)
does get written to when startup.sh is invoked.

What version are you using?

You should probably not be using that. There is a startup script in
/etc/init.d, it should get launched on boot.

I also suggest you use the tomcat5.5 package from testing, since it has
seen numerous bug fixes.

Cheers,

the debian/stable version

root@li2-168:/usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin# ./startup.sh

You should probably not be using that. There is a startup script in
/etc/init.d, it should get launched on boot.

I see, perhaps the docs should say that sort of thing?

well, the server works fine now that I have rebooted my
machine...HOWEVER: I cannot login into the Tomcat admin panel... and
/usr/share/doc/tomcat5.5-admin does not have any information about the
default username/password for it

Perhaps the file should be removed, or moved to a less conspicuous
location. Feel free to file a bug about this.

There is no default username/password, and it's documented in
/usr/share/doc/tomcat5.5/README.Debian.

BTW the admin webapp has been removed for lenny (it was removed upstream).

There is no default username/password, and it's documented in
/usr/share/doc/tomcat5.5/README.Debian.

there is no manager role in tomcat-users.xml ... should I also add
that... I modified the both username to have the manager role, but am
not sure if that role also needs to be added

Here is the file after my mod:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users>

* <role rolename="tomcat"/>

* <role rolename="role1"/>

* <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>

* <user username="both" password="tomcat"
roles="manager,tomcat,role1"/>

* <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>

</tomcat-users>

BTW the admin webapp has been removed for lenny (it was removed upstream).

the admin webapp is highly useful for deploying .war files ... why was
it removed? I dont know what 'removed upstream' means, but I think the
admin webapp needs to be there.
