[Scottish] Hopeless newbie does Tomcat (or not, as the case may be...)

[Danny Owens]

Hi Steve,

Once you have done the rpm installation, you can manually check that 
java has been installed to /usr/java/j2sdk[version]/
(please ignore your jre for now as it is not needed by tomcat)

Now set up the environment variables like so;

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk[version]
export JAVA_HOME

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH

(You can place these in /etc/profile.local on SuSe when you know it works.)

You can test java and javac at the command line.

If you install tomcat you will also probably need ANT - both Tomcat and 
ANT have their own environment variables that need set (see install docs).
You will also need to set a CLASSPATH environment variable if you put 
any java classes in non-standard places.

I hope this helps...

best,
Danny
