No Pivot....
After consultation with another person that has Pivot on the system it turned out that there might be a problem with PHP on SWS 1.3, that has been solved in 2.0, and was not backported to 1.3 - since that would require a lot of extra work in that version. And due to the requirement of stream_lf files for this version, it has not been, and will not be installed on Diana.
It also showed in the Apache logs: Access violation. Not pinpointed to PHP but very, very likely.
Sad, but that's the end of Pivot. At least, for the moment, bacuse the follow up of 2.0 - handyly named 2.1 - does not have the requirement and can therefore be used. Let's say: Pivot installation is postponed.
....Patches and new Tomcat
Latest patches installed on Diana, and the new Tomcat. Had to uninstall the old version first...
Rebooted - for the patches....
Tomcat will now start in batch! At least - it appears in SHOW SYSTEM. But now Apache fails to start, but that's because file access is denied: mod_jk.conf is owned by SYSTEM and world has no access . Run Tomcat's CONFIG script: current user = owner is SYSTEM. No wonder: installed that way (and the whole tree has been removed). So change that to APACHE$WWW and have all file ownership set - which takes some time, it's a large directory tree - and restarted Tomcat. It's faster than 2.0, it seems, and it uses Java 1.4-2. Good!
Apache is now started as well, but access to Tomcat examples is slow...Perhaps because it's the first access? At end, it does show up, and the example pages also. But just under port 8080. So there is still something to do, it is different than the old version!
Given the time now (after midnight, and with a full working day ahead), that will have to wait a while.
