Hi Kabir,

How you set the auto-start depends on what version of Linux you are using. There is no one answer.

Hi Devaraj,

I don’t use the admin interface. A 401 error indicates that you need to authenticate. I presume you need to set up the admin username and password somewhere. You’ll have to read the Tomcat Documentation though, this is not a feature I use.

Hi bardez,

Looks like either your Tomcat isn’t properly pointing at your JRE, or that you’re using a third party JRE that’s imperfect. I’ve never had much luck with non-Sun JREs.

Hi Richard,

To debug your first problem the best place to start would be to have a look at the logs (they’ll be in the logs folder in the tomcat folder under the localhost directory, you’re looking for catalina.out).

As for your second problem, it’s either that you’re using a Linux distribution that doesn’t use chkconfig or that your path isn’t configured correctly. The full path to chkconfig should be /sbin/chkconfig so try using that.

Hope that helps,

Bart.
