Assuming you are running a Fedora Core 1 installation with Apache 2.0

You'll need:

jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz
And the mod_jk2 package:

Fedora-Core-1-i386.tar.gz

* Install mod_jk first

	% cd /share
	% su
	% tar xvfz Fedora-Core-1-i386.tar.gz
	% cd Fedora-Core-1-i386
	% cp -rf * /

	This puts the 
	/etc/httpd/conf/workers2.properties

	and
	/etc/httpd/conf.d/jk2.conf

	Stock Fedora Apache automatically includes everything in conf.d/*.conf

* Unpack tomcat

	% cd /usr/local
	% tar xvfz /tmp/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz
	% ln -s jarkarta-tomcat-5.0.28 tomcat5

* Jump through some hoops -> compile the unix daemon for tomcat (jsvc)

	% cd /usr/local/tomcat5/bin
	% tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
	% autoconf
	
	# wtf?  wrong permissions on configure
	% chmod 755 configure
	% ./configure --with-java=/usr/java/j2sdk
	% make
	% cp jsvc ..
	% cd ..

You can then use:
	% ./bin/jsvc -Djava.endorsed.dirs=./common/endorsed -cp ./bin/bootstrap.jar \
        -outfile ./logs/catalina.out -errfile ./logs/catalina.err \
	    org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

	...bleah crazy

* Otherwise use the friggin Tomcat5.sh script that gives you start/stop
  capabilities 

	% cd /usr/local/tomcat5/bin
	% tar xvfz jsvc.tar.gz
	% cp jsvc-src/native/Tomcat5.sh .

	Edit the Tomcat5.sh with your system params.  Of note:

	JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk/
	CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat5
	DAEMON_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat5/bin
	TOMCAT_USER=tomcat
	...
    #
    # Start Tomcat
    #
    $DAEMON_HOME/jsvc \

* Run the damn thing and make sure it worked

	# Gah Permissions
	% cd /usr/local
	% chown -R tomcat jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28

	# Try it
	% cd tomcat5/bin
	% chmod 755 Tomcat5.sh
	% ./Tomcat5.sh start
	% ps auxw | grep java
	% lynx http://localhost:8080/

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Modify your server.xml file


	# Modify all the logger entries so it doesn't spam logs everywhere.  Look
	# for <Logger entries as well and delete the spurious ones.
	<!-- Global logger unless overridden at lower levels -->
      <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
            directory="/www/logs" prefix="catalina_log." suffix=""
              timestamp="true"/>

	<!-- ###### Create a virtual host entry: -->
     <!-- Virtual Host for bark.artkomichen.com -->
      <Host name="bark.artkomichen.com" debug="0" appBase="/www/bark/webapps"
       unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
       xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 directory="/www/bark/logs"  prefix="bark_webapps_log." suffix=".txt"
            timestamp="true"/>

		<!-- Allow manager app, restrict to local ip -->
        <Context path="/manager" debug="0" privileged="true"
            docBase="/usr/local/tomcat5/server/webapps/manager">
          <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
                                   allow="127.0.0.1,10.10.25.*"/>
	</Context>
      </Host>
    <!-- End Virtual Host for bark.artkomichen.com -->


* Make sure tomcat has write priveleges to the logs directory
	% cd /www/bark
	% chown tomcat logs

	
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Go edit your httpd.conf to do the appropriate things.  If you're like me
  you need to mess with this setup so that it's only listening to one
  particular virtual host


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU ARE USING ANT:

* Copy the catalina-ant.jar to your ant's lib directory
	% cp /usr/local/tomcat5/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar /usr/local/ant/lib/
