Same problem here - I have no idea how to actually use it as I am not
into JSP - I just have customers using it. It may not work even in a
install that is correct. The maneuvre I was trying to perform here
was just to extract a war file through the admin - this is all it
should be able to do - afterwards it is up to the customer to get it
to work. We already confirmed that JSP and servlets work for the
site, so that is fine. Now we just need to get the war extraction right.
To get back to the initial problems - these are the important
problems to solve:
1) Domain WEB-INF folder and subdirs is owned by admin instead of nobody
2) Getting extraction of the war file in the admin right - it should
call:
/usr/bin/perl -I /usr/sausalito/perl /usr/sausalito/sbin/
java_load_war.pl -n admin -g $SITENUM -f /home/sites/$DOMAIN/web/
$PATHTOWAR -t $DESTDIR -c
instead of the current:
/usr/bin/perl -I /usr/sausalito/perl /usr/sausalito/sbin/
java_load_war.pl -n admin -g $SITENUM -f /home/tmp/
which is clearly not right.
3) http://SERVERIP:8080 seems to refer to the first given site for
which tomcat is installed - not to the actual server-installation in
which the manager and admin apps are available. If JSP is disabled
for all sites on the server, then http://SERVERIP:8080 refers to the
server installation.
4) When no sites use Tomcat, then port 8080 is wide open. There
should be an .htaccess file in the folder to make sure no one can
enter without password. Furthermore an entry must be entered in the
file /etc/tomcat5/tomcat-users.xml like this - <user username="admin"
password="PASS" roles="manager,admin,host-manager"/>
These are the very important issues.
