Now Running Tomcat 4.1.17 I upgraded this site to use Tomcat 4.1.17 in about 10 minute tonight. All I had to do was change my server.xml to use the proper ports for my ISP, and copy the MySQL JDBC driver to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. Nice and easy - short and sweet. My kinda software - "it just works."

Later: Tomcat seems to be running just fine, but I'm getting the following error in catalina.out. It doesn't seem to affect anything, so I'm not too worried. When running on Tomcat 4.0.6, I kept getting a ClassNotFound error for an hsql jdbc driver, and everything ran fine. I never even used or refered to the hsql driver was the wierd part. The error has been there since my very first post on August 1st.

From the tomcat-dev mailing list: 
I assume you are using Apache 1.3?

This is a message indicating that the web 
server has been restarted. Probably we should 
downgrade the message to debug, since this 
is normal for apache (it is not normal for 
other servers). 

Apache has a config option to restart itself 
after a number of requests - to avoid memory 
leaks on some OSes.


Yep, I am using Apache 1.3, so this sounds like the problem's source. Not a big deal, but good to know the cause!

You seem to be getting alot of "URL redirect limit exceeded" errors. Also, a Roller feature request: Have comment URLs pop back up in the parent window.

Yeah, I agree - there needs to be some work done on comments. I'd like the ability to expand the window, as well as to remember a user's information. Hopefully, I'll have time to implement this next year. I think the URL redirect limit errors where from my sysadmin switching from the Coyote to the AJP connector.

You are hosted via a hosting company? or it is running on your work machine?

I am hosted at kgbinternet.com. They're in Canada and cheap - $12/month! I get my own Tomcat instance and I'm free to upgrade it whenever I want, as long as I use the same ports for Apache.
