Tomcat Slackware Install Problems

[kkiedrowski]

I am trying to install on slackware 10.2
I have apache 1.33 jdk 1.5

when i run the following command this is what i get... but it looks like java_home is ok

root@hostname:/# su - tomcat -c /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program

root@hostname:/# echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jdk1.5.0_05/

Make sure that JAVA_HOME is set in the home .bash_profile or .profile script ... and always login using the "-" switch. I see you are doing a "su to root and run this command" - but this does not mean your actual user's profile is picked up ! Plus anyway ... why do you need to run tomcat as root (unless binding to port 80) ?
