Installing Tomcat 6 on CentOS 5

May be a niche post but after some fighting with my virtual server running CentOS 5 it boiled down to a really simple solution:

1	cd /etc/yum.repos.d

2	wget 'http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage50.repo'

3	yum update

4	yum install tomcat6 tomcat6-webapps tomcat6-admin-webapps

5	service tomcat6 start

If you have problems accessing the server from another machine you may need to do the following:

1

setup

2	"Firewall configuration"

3	"Customize"

4	"Other ports" 8080:tcp

5

"Ok"

6	service tomcat6 restart

UPDATE:
If you get a dependency error try this:

1	rpm -Uvh 'http://plone.lucidsolutions.co.nz/linux/centos/images/jpackage-utils-compat-el5-0.0.1-1.noarch.rpm'
