Newbie Installation Question
I have looked through the FAQs and search the web, and although this should be a simple problem, I don't find an answer. I can't start tomcat: Exception during startup processing java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina at org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLoader.java:992) at org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClassLoader.java:857) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:176) I have tried different versions of Tomcat and different versions of JDK and I always get the same startup error. I am brand new at Tomcat and this is my first install. If this is answered somewhere, I've missed it. Thanks. Sign: Day old sushi, half off. __ Yahoo!

Sorry, I am trying to install Tomcat, Version 4.1.3 and using j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-linux.bin that I downloaded from Sun.

I had been trying to avoid actually building Tomcat, I was trying to use a Linux binary. --- "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: brown wrap [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: Newbie Installation Question > > > > Sorry, I am trying to install Tomcat, Version > 4.1.3 > > and using j2eesdk-1_4_02_2005Q2-linux.bin that I > > downloaded from Sun.

OK, I downloaded the binary. My error is different, but it still does not start up: [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs]# more catalina.out java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:202) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:390) --- Mark Eggers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tomcat comes as a binary.

I guess I am looking for a clue as to what the messages in the log file means. It says exception, but I don't even know where to look for the problem. The only file in the log directory that has anything in it, is catalina.out. The rest are empty. --- brown wrap <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, I read Running.txt Here is my start line by > hand: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] 5.5.12]# > /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh > Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat > Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat > Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp > Using JRE_HOME: /export/00/java/jdk1.5.0_05/ > > > --- "Caldarale, Charles R" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > From: brown wrap [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: RE: Newbie Installation Question > > > > > > OK, I downloaded the binary.

I actually got it run by installing ant and following the build instructions. --- "Caldarale, Charles R" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: brown wrap [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: RE: Newbie Installation Question > > > > I guess I am looking for a clue as to what the > > messages in the log file means. > > It means it can't find the named Java class file. > This could be due to > an incomplete or corrupted installation or possibly > a file permissions > problem.
