Tomcat Installations Problems? Criticall!!

[whatdoesthismean1]

I am running a Linux Kernel system and have tried to install tomcat twice already, both times the installation went ok from what I could see, but after I start Tomcat I get a cannot find server when I try to access it from a web browser. Later when I shut down the server I get a

/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object files: No such files or directory

Now I an assuming that this is somehow the problem, but I could be mistaken, happened once or twice before.

So if you have any suggestions or solution they would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Ok

First Above problem has been solved by re-installing the Linux libraries, now I have the following problem. I am able to start up tomcat but when I go to localhost:8080 I get the following error message

HTTP Status 500 -

Apache Tomcat/4.1.24-LE-jdk14


Any suggestion or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A few things to check:
1)
For my install the following packages should be installed:
o compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16.i386.rpm
o jdk-1.3.1_01.i386.rpm
o tomcat4-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm

Admittedly you are running a later build but ensure you have the required libraries package installed.

2)is your tomcat server listening on that port (8080) when you tried accessing localhost? test this with: netstat -l and check for the LISTENING port.

3) Stop tomcat and then from the $tomcat/bin directory start tomcat from the command line in "RUN" mode with tomcat4 run this will echo tomcats running status to the console until you CTRL+C out of it (kill the tomcat) watch the output for clues as to what the problem is, (try your

http://localhost:8080

at the same time.

4) How are you installing with RPM's? if so try a rpm -qa| grep tom, and then erase it with (rpm -e <tomcat_version>) and start with a clean install again. Be sure you have the libraries required.

Good Luck,
Laurie.
