Installing Tomcat 5.5.7 on Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Greetings:
I have MacOS X version 10.3.8 and this machine currently already has Apache 1.3 installed, I also understand that it is using Java 1.4.(2?) I believe.
I downloaded and untarred the .gz putting the Tomcat 5.5.7 directory under the Library directory (not /Users/loginname/Library, but the root Library) and setup some manual start up files to set the the variables ala one HOWTO I found at O'Reilly DEV network, this partained to version 4.0 of Tomcat and used Sun's Webservices Pack, which I thought might work. I notice that also you may need a compatibility tar to run Tomcat 5.5.7 with Java 1.4, but was wondering if I missed an update for Java 5.0? It doesn't appear to be available for download here at any rate :-)
When I load my startup file, I go to my browser (which is Firefox) and type localhost:8080, and get the page could not be displayed. So something is a-miss in my installation.
I would like to get to the point where Tomcat loads at startup.
Anybody using MacOS X (10.3.x) that has gotten Tomcat 5.5.7 to work please let me know. Would hate to regress to 4.0 on my personal dev machine!
Thanks for any help.

Hey Mike,
I just finished getting Tomcat 5.5.9 running on Panther. I'm using it to serve the weblog app, "blojsom".
I'm serving Apache2 and Tomcat 5.5.9. via Mod_jk2 . My site is being served from my "local ISP" so I'm using redirection services and cloaking of the my domain and as a result I'm still messing with "permilink" and absolute url issues. Anyway, my first posts to my blog involve my success in getting Tomcat running on my box. Here is the link: http://www.macunkie.com/blojsom/blog/macunkie/Geek%20Notes/"
Hope this helps!

Installing Tomcat on mac os 10.4?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install Tomcat? Are there any up to date detailed instructions anywhere?
Thanks.

I found some detailed directions for installing
tomcat 5.5.x here:
http://www.benslade.com/projects/java/tomcat/Installin
gJavaTomcatMySQLOnMacOSX/
That article is a year and a half old.
and I am considering installing 5.5.x rather than 6.0
to avoid any potential problems.
What potential problems are you hoping to avoid? I'm finding everything that worked in 5.5 is still working in 6.0, but I had to do a little extra work to accommodate the new directory structure. If you start out with the new directory structure, you can avoid having to do that, unless you're planning to stay with 5.5 indefinitely.
In those instructions, which are partially taken from this
apple article:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/java/tomcat1.html
Six years old. I guess that makes it a classic!
tomcat is installed in /usr/local. Why did you
install in /Library instead of /usr/local? My
Apache2 and PHP5 install are in /Library, but in the
config options I used for installing mysql, I see
references to /usr/local? How do you know whether to
install in /Library or /usr/local?
Simple. Can you see /usr/local in the Finder? How are you planning to edit your JSP files? If you're going to use a command-line editor, have fun. I use BBEdit for JSP, just like I do for HTML and pretty much everything. I can open files anywhere with BBEdit, but it's much easier if I keep them in a directory that's visible in the Finder.
Also, notice that neither one of the articles you cited says anything about images. I don't know about you, but I like to use images with my web applications. Can you save images in /usr/local/... with Photoshop? Not easily. Sure, you can save them in your ~/Pictures folder and then go into the terminal and use sudo mv or sudo cp to move or copy the images into /usr/local/whatever, which belongs to root, so you have to say pretty please. Or you could just beat yourself over the head with a two-by-four, which will have about the same effect on your overall mood.
Finally, I often make changes to the directory structure of web applications as they grow and develop. Sometimes I make subdirectories and move files around, and I almost always have a directory for images, one for stylesheets and one for scripts. I find it a lot easier to create these in the Finder, and it's also easier to copy scripts and stylesheets I want to reuse from other applications.
MySQL and PostgreSQL are RDBMS programs. You couldn't edit the data files with a text editor if you wanted to. You do everything through the JDBC or ODBC interface. You don't even really have to know where the data files are. It's a completely different paradigm from editing HTML and JSP files, so it just makes more sense to me to install them in /usr/local. Some people do install these in /Library, and they'll work just fine there. I just don't see any reason to install something in a visible folder if I don't need to look at it.
This article:
http://hivelogic.com/narrative/articles/usingusrlocal
says you should put all apps you build yourself into
/usr/local so that updates won't screw things up.
Yes, he's right. Well, mostly. It's a little more complicated.
If you need to build and use a different version of a program that Apple provides as a part of the OS, put it in /usr/local/bin and add /usr/local/bin to your path. Then, when you use that command, you'll get the new version, because it is in a directory that precedes /usr/bin (and /usr/sbin, /bin and /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sb /sbin) in the path list--assuming you appended your added directories to the head of the list like you're supposed to. (Unfortunately, the manpath gets built in an independent process, so often you will still get the old manual unless you explicitly as for the new one.) When the system needs to run a command, it will default to the one Apple provided, because /usr/local isn't even in the root's path (unless you've added it, but don't).
But /usr/local/bin isn't the only place that's safe. I keep most of my shell scripts in a bin directory in the root of my home directory, or ~/bin. It's a convenient place to put them, I can edit them easily, and they'll never get overwritten by an update. Some people choose to make this directory invisible, but I like to be able to see mine.
But, of course, he's not talking about what you do or don't put in your /Library directory. This isn't a Unix directory, and Apple doesn't include any version of Tomcat with OS X. (Maybe OS X Server, but that's a whole other story.) But if you look at what Apple does put in this directory, like the Apache document root and cgi-bin directories, similar kinds of things for WebObjects, it kind of makes sense for at least the Tomcat webapps directory to be here, if not bin, conf, lib and logs, and the easiest way to get them there is to just put the Tomcat home folder there.
Since this is probably going to turn into a religious war, let me just add that I'm not a Unix geek. I like Unix a heck of a lot more than some other OSes, but I've been a Mac user since 1984, and there are reasons why I prefer it. I know a lot of Unix guys who can do everything in emacs that I can do in BBEdit just as efficiently, but I can't. I've made a lot of money doing web programming in BBEdit, and it's the kind of software I like to use. It's not as overblown as Dreamweaver, but it's not a command line program. I can do about everything I need to in Unix shells but I don't live there. Being able to see and manipulate files and folders in the Finder works for me, so I tend to keep files I interact with in visible directories.

I don't know, but I would assume that the MBA can install and can run Autocad with Boot Camp.
The question is more, can the software be effectively used with such a small display.
Audocad and vector packages such as Adobe Illustrator are typically run using large screens, so a lack of display real estate may mean the process is frustrating, even if it is possible.
I face the same thing - I am considering an MBA 13" and need to run Illustrator, and that would mean a lot of scrolling.
I think you would be advised to ensure you bought an MBA with a high specification of processor and memory to give yourself the best chance of success.
Is there a Mac version of Autocad you could switch to, to make for less complication? I've managed to shift all but one of my Windows applications to OS X now, and only occasionally use Windows on the system.

As an update, I installed an update 5.7on my Mac laptop, now the Lightroom 5.0 has become a "Lightroom Mobile" version. How can change it back to the laptop version 5.7?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

LR on your laptop is still a desktop version. It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time. Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

You need to contact the developer/manufacturer directly to determine if their product is compatible w/Yosemite. It is not listed on their system requirement website:
Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard*
Note: ArchiCAD 17 is the last version of ArchiCAD to support Mac OS X 10.6
Only case insensitive file-system volumes are supported.

I bought a mac mini with Lion pre-installed. If I upgrade my mac mini to Mountain Lion, am I free to install Lion on my older macbook using the mini license?

I currently have two macs. A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion. I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available. After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs. So, I am not tied to the mac app store. And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license. From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs. But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine. However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap! Just buy Lion throught the app store." This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?

If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

How do i install adobe flash flyer to my mac book pro laptop im unable to watch any video on you tube or ay where

How do i install adobe flash flyer to the mac book pro laptop .it states my adobe is out dated i need to install a newer version.

Go to this link to download the installer and this link to determine which version you have installed. Always get extensions like this from the publisher (in this case Adobe) and not from some website that says you need an extension and offers to install it for you since you may end up with malware instead.
BTW, once the current version of Flash is installed, you can set its preferences to update automatically in the background.

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.
Lupunus
PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and Adobe Premier 10 loaded on a Dell PC. Do I need to uninstall from the Dell before I install on a recently purchased Apple Mac Pro? There are separate disks for Mac and PC in the package.

Generally, it's ok to install on two machines as long as they are both yours and you only use one version at a time.
BTW, this is the forum for Adobe Contribute.

How to install a CS3 cd in my mac

OK, This can look like a silly question but I really need to be using this program by sunday and i have no ideia how to install it in my mac. I need help
so i got the 4 disks to install CS3 ( adobecreative 3 master collection)
but i dont know how to install it. i put the disk 1 and nothing happen so i open the cd andi can see the files but i can not install it.
please help!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
is this the Mac OSX or the Windows version of CS3 ?
If this is the Mac version, then there should be an Installer on the first CD.
If this is the Windows version you have to install Windows before you can install any kind of Windows executable program.
BootCamp http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ or VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ are two possibilities to install Windows on a Intel-based Mac.
Both are free.
Another two are Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Both costs.
All four requires that you a valid Windows license/CD to install Windows.
Regards
Stefan

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server.

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server. Is this possiIble? How is it done?
The mac has 10.5 which has bootcamp to enable Windows install. I have created a partition but the bootcamp utility asks for a CD. I want to install a RIS build. The Mac has a option for network boot but this seems to only work with Mac Server. I assume the network adapter is not PXE compatible and so a boot disk of some kind will be needed to kick this off?.
