How many Tomcats?

[wf]

I'm getting some very strange caching behavior with IE. I'm wondering if maybe it's the server and not IE. Anyway, I notice lots of references to Tomcat 4 on my server, but I'm assuming those are just places where Rimu forgot to change the name of a shortcut or something like that. I'm trying to use Tomcat 5 (the one that comes preinstalled with the server). So my question is how many versions of Tomcat are installed? Is it possible I'm running more than one version at the same time?

Unless specifically configured, two instances of Tomcat would not run on the same server. The first one that starts up and binds to the default port 8080 will run, any other instance would fail to start as it cannot bind to port 8080. Unless someone has changed the port numbers of course.

If you are worried about there being multiple installations, you could run chkconfig to verify which instance is being started at bootup: check for a tomcat script in /etc/init.d.

Also, check whether you are running Apache and JK connector to Tomcat.

Hope this helps.
