Installation experiences from a Noob view

Posted by Daniel Lindgren on June 23, 2010, 8:55 AM EDT

In addition to the forum discussion regarding my failed installation, I will, step by step, post my installation of ConcourseConnect on Ubuntu

I uninstalled tomcat

apt-get tomcat6
When installer starting Tomcat gives:
Using Catalina-base /var/lib/tomcat6
Using Catalina-home /usr/share/tomcat6
catalina-tmpdir /tmp/tomcat6-tmp
JRE-home /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
classpath /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar

when running /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/shutdown.sh
following error:
SEVERE: Catalina.stop:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/tomcat6/conf/server.xml (No such file or directory)

The server.xml, however DOES exist in /var/lib/tomcat6/conf

No errors when running startup.sh, but the variables are different:
Catalina_base and catalina_home both point to /usr/share/tomcat6
and jre_home points to /usr so i'm guessing i'll have to correct this somehow, further investigation will follow tonight, but I think I see a pattern..

So I followed my hunch and uninstalled tomcat, DL-ed the real deal JRE and JDK, fiddled some, and now I can't really start Tomcat again. Googling the error (invoke-rc.d initscript tomcat6,action "start" failed) gives that this is not that uncommon, and that i'll have to fiddle a lot more to get things to run again(some mailing lists are talking about "circular dependencies", "upstream scripts" and a whole bunch of Dev speak, with bugs, suggested code snippets, and the like.
So i'll be back in a couple days, probably after doing a thing i didn't think i'd have to do with my shiny new Linux, reinstall.

Well, I didn't reinstall alltogether, just fiddled some more back and forth, and finally followed this tutor:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tomcat6StackSpec

Thereby creating a user instance of tomcat, which seems to function, atleast i managed to deploy and configure CRM...onwards to testing Connect, which is the app i'm looking for, hopefully...
