tomcat 7
in [Ports]
|
From: Alex Dupre on 2 Jul 2010 06:33 Hi All, I prepared a port for the new beta (7.0.0) release of apache tomcat 7. The tarball is available here: http://www.alexdupre.com/tomcat7.tar.gz The current tomcat6 port is full of (IMHO) useless variables and variable substitutions, so I decided to cut them down and simplify the port a lot. Test it, if you are interested. -- Alex Dupre _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

To simplify the port and because it's common in FreeBSD that web servers use the www user. Is there a reason because apache should use the www user, while tomcat should let the user choose? -- Alex Dupre _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

I do not think you can do so with tomcat. So tomcat_user is a facility to thoses who like to have a single daemon per user (or a single user per daemon :) If you decide to keep it has it, you may change hard coded www with WWWOWN and WWWGRP has recommended in porters handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/porters-handbook/using-php.html#WEB-APPS Joris > > -- > Alex Dupre > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" > _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"

The Apache web server forks off as www but starts as root. Tomcat cant do that, unless you use jsvc, which the port does not. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org" |
