Installing Tomcat into Debian 4.0

[Chan Lee <chanl@pacbell.net>]

Hi,

 

Can someone help on getting Tomcat in Debian 4.0 ?

The Tomcat-5 I installed from Debian package repository

doen't work as it ran into Java OutOfMemoryError when

I tried to open the port 8180 - there's apparent JVM issue.

 

Rather than trying to solve this issue, I decided to install

Tomcat from the apache/tomcap homesite, with Java stuffs

from the Sun directly. But then installing Java SDK/JRE

requires RPM, which is not quite stable in Debian yet.

Without RPM, I need to figure out how to configure the Java

pieces - executables, header files and libraries - which I

have no idea.

 

Or, is there any pre-built & tested Debian Server package

available ?
