Mac OS X and Unix tips and tricks

I’ve recently made the foray into AJAX. I purchased the Apress book “Foundations of AJAX.” When I went to download the source code that went with the book it required me to have tomcat running to view it using a java servlett. I decided to install Tomcat. It was simple, but it wasn’t simple figuring it out. You can download it at the Jakarta Apache Tomcat site. Then open a browser and point to the mamausings site for the install instructions. Although it was written in 2004 for Panther it worked for me. The only thing, I didn’t have to do was to set the JAVA_HOME environment. Once I had the install done, I just pointed my browser to http://localhost:8080 and got the Tomcat home page. I didn’t even need to run chmod on the .sh and .bat files.
