Done. I uninstalled IBM-Java w/ YaST and reinstalled Sun Java JRE & SDK from YaST, however I don't see any initscript..

I cannot find an rctomcat file anywhere on the system.

Hi,
/etc/init.d/tomcat
your posted error message
looks like, that you use the initscript from scalix, which is particularly for Red Hat
hm, can you the first 20 lines of the script /etc/init.d/tomcat
PS: sorry for my bad english ;)
Cheers

no, you name this
tomcat
and move it to /etc/init.d/, the you run the follow command
insserv romcat
the you should the tomcat start with
rctomcat start
or with
/etc/init.d/tomcat start
if you use the tomcat version from the scalix package, you must maybe modifie the /etc/sysconfig/j2ee file and set the CATALINA_HOME
CATALINA_HOME="/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28" or wherever your tomcat home is

hi,
ok, the file /etc/sysconfig/j2ee would create from Yast, if you install the tomcat from the SLES 9 CDs
2 options
- you install tomcat version from the CDs, that should create the file /etc/sysconfig/j2ee and naturally also the init script for the tomcat
- or you make the file manuelly
you must eventuelly change the CATALINA_HOME
ps: the installation of the Java package with Yast, create naturally not the init script for tomcat
dgu <= idiot ;)
Unfortunately, the tomcat script is crapping out, looking for /etc/sysconfig/j2ee which does not exist.

Hello. Ok, I was out of the office for a few days and am coming back to this. Thanks again, dgu for your assistance.
I created /etc/sysconfig/j2ee and pasted in the contents that you gave above. The CATALINE_HOME path does match what I have. Tried running ./tomcat start and got the following:
./tomcat: line 114: syntax error near unexpected token `"$CATALINA_BASE/logs"'
./tomcat: line 114: ` "$CATALINA_BASE/logs" \ '
I do have a logs subdirectory:
mgmail:/opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 # ls
. LICENSE RELEASE-NOTES bin conf server temp work
.. NOTICE RUNNING.txt common logs shared webapps
Any thoughts? Anyone from Scalix care to participate?
Thanks!

I actually did a SLES9 based install myself today.
You cannot use the Tomcat shipped with SuSE for at least two reasons:
- It is downrev - we require at least 5.0.28
- It runs as user tomcat while running tomcat for Scalix, at least SAC, requires running as root.
The steps I followed and tested in beautiful Stockholm today were as follows and that's what I recommend:
1. Install SuSE tomcat RPM to get the startup script. Don't run it.
2. Install Java JDK 1.4.2_08 from Sun download in addition to SuSE-supplied JDK
3. run Scalix Installer, do not use tomcat as found, but install fresh copy in /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28; make sure both JAVA and CATALINA in Installer point to the self-installed versions.
4. shutdown tomcat manually using shutdown.sh
5. in /etc/sysconfig/j2ee, change CATALINA_HOME to point to new Tomcat directory
6. in /etc/init.d/tomcat, comment out all lines that change directory and file ownership of any tomcat files to user "tomcat"
7. in the actual startup and shutdown lines, remove the "su - tomcat -c" part, the line should now read /bin/bash .....
8. in /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin/setclasspath.sh, after the JAVA_HOME, etc., lines added by Scalix Installer (very top of file), add a line reading PATH=$PATH:/opt/scalix/bin:/opt/scalix/diag
9. execute chkconfig --add tomcat
10. execute rctomcat start
Hope I remember my fast finger's typing correctly, but this results in a working, workable and reboot-safe confirmation.
We know that this is still a major pain and are working hard to make life easier for all of you; the next release of Scalix will have an improved installer that automatically and correctly integrates Tomcat startup with system boot on both RedHat and SuSE.
Cheers,

You cannot use the Tomcat shipped with SuSE for at least two reasons:
- It is downrev - we require at least 5.0.28
- It runs as user tomcat while running tomcat for Scalix, at least SAC, requires running as root.
The steps I followed and tested in beautiful Stockholm today were as follows and that's what I recommend:
1. Install SuSE tomcat RPM to get the startup script. Don't run it.
2. Install Java JDK 1.4.2_08 from Sun download in addition to SuSE-supplied JDK
3. run Scalix Installer, do not use tomcat as found, but install fresh copy in /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28; make sure both JAVA and CATALINA in Installer point to the self-installed versions.
4. shutdown tomcat manually using shutdown.sh
5. in /etc/sysconfig/j2ee, change CATALINA_HOME to point to new Tomcat directory
6. in /etc/init.d/tomcat, comment out all lines that change directory and file ownership of any tomcat files to user "tomcat"
7. in the actual startup and shutdown lines, remove the "su - tomcat -c" part, the line should now read /bin/bash .....
8. in /opt/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28/bin/setclasspath.sh, after the JAVA_HOME, etc., lines added by Scalix Installer (very top of file), add a line reading PATH=$PATH:/opt/scalix/bin:/opt/scalix/diag
9. execute chkconfig --add tomcat
10. execute rctomcat start
