Introduction

This page describes tomcat related installation notes

Installation

The perfSONAR packages are depending on the distribution tomcat package, so they should be installed automatically. If you want to install them manually install:

  • RPM: tomcat5
  • DEB: tomcat5.5

Tomcat Manager

If you want to install the tomcat manager install package:

  • Rpm: tomcat5-webapps-admin
  • Deb: tomcat5.5-admin

Special notes

For deb based distributions, tomcat is configured to use the tomcat security manager. This manager restricts I/O of java code to a list of defined operations of files. Most likely the developer of a service didn't create this file, so if the service is not working and there are read/write permission errors in the logfiles, you should turn of the security manager in /etc/default/tomcat5.5
