[Spacewalk-list] Tomcat config files

[Scott Rakow]

Lukas and Michael,
  Thanks for your replays.  I was able to get rid all the errors. Then after
one other change, get the web page to come up. One was to remove the
jspapi.jar in the /usr/share/tomcat5/webapps/rhn/WEB-INF/lib dir (which was
a soft link to the same file else where. There seems to be many links, some
of which are links to links to links, which seems a bit inefficient and
confusing). The other was to change the permissions in the
/usr/share/tomcat5/conf file.

This got rid of the errors, but the web page still would give the "Not
Available" message. What looks to have fixed this was to change the
following line in the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf file


hibernate.connection.driver_proto=jdbc:oracle:oci
to
hibernate.connection.driver_proto=jdbc:oracle:thin

Then the page came up. I'm going to go through the install again to day
again, as I did several other changes to make sure this is the reason why it
came up. Also, during setup I have had to create directories and change
permissions on files before the Spacewalk install takes place, as it has not
created or changed them them during the install process, to make sure they
get populated correctly. The install process needs to be run twice, as the
/tftpboot directory does not get populated on the first run. My environment
is a standalone one, where I need to import all files to, so I'm not sure if
that has anything to do with this problem.

Thanks again

Scott
