i’m kinda new to all this here so i’m sorry in advance if i’m asking stupid questions.
i need to get apache tomcat 5.5 (what is the difference between jakarta tomcat and apache tomcat anyway ?) running but i dont know how.
usually i just open the software management in yast and install whatever i need. but it only offers me tomcat6 not 5 …
so i figured i need to download tomcat 5.5 from the offial tomcat website …
i extracted the archive. but now what ?
i remember a friend who had it running just entering rctomcat5 start to get it running but thats pretty much after the whole installation routing i think …
The jakarta project was subsumed under the apache (of which the eponymous webserver is just the most well-known product) project, so they are the same thing.
Why not just try it with tomcat6? Usually it will work with a higher version.
In that case your best bet is probably to unpack the tomcat 5.5 package somewhere like /opt/tomcat-5.5 and maintain that independently of OpenSUSE’s software system.
Hmmm, maybe if you feel your a bit out of your depth and this is a
critical project, maybe you should look at getting a consultant (or
your friend) to assist?

Yeah, it might be better for you to call in some help. Configuring a normal package may be hard, but as I used to whinge to a friend, everything is 3 times in Java. 3 times more code to write, 3 times harder to understand what’s happening, 3 times longer to configure anything, 3 times slower to run, ad nauseum.
