Hi All, This is my first post to this list, so I hope I get it right. I'm new to both Unix and freeBSD and I've been doing my first steps for three days now. I was able to install Java and Tomcat 6, because these products are part of the ports directory. However I'd prefer Tomcat 7, so I got the tomcat7.tar.gz and extracted the files to /usr/ports/www/tomcat7. The I tried the following and got the message: # pwd /usr/ports/www/tomcat7 # make install clean ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> License accepted by the user => apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz is not in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo. => Either /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo is out of date, or => apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7. To be honest, I don't understand that message. That file apache-tomcat-7.0.6.tar.gz can't be in /usr/ports/www/tomcat7/distinfo, because distinfo is a file and not a directory. What went wrong? I got the missing file, however where is it supposed to be? Thanks for help, AndyJ
