Dear list
I have recently been running Tomcat 5 on my server, without problems.
After an upgrade to Tomcat 6, however I get errors. During the upgrade I
manually removed all the Tomcat 5 packages, and dependent packages
before I installed new Tomcat 6 packages from the jpackage.org repo. The
system is a Centos 5 system. This is the error messages:
>From /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out when running "service tomcat6 start":
WARNING: error instantiating 'org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager'
referenced by java.util.logging.manager, class not found
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
not found
<<No stacktrace available>>
WARNING: error instantiating '1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,'
referenced by handlers, class not found
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler,
<<No stacktrace available>>
Exception during runtime initialization
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
<<No stacktrace available>>
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
<<No stacktrace available>>
Then Tomcat dies.
Running tomcat6-digest with root user gives:
SEVERE: Exception creating instance of
org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase

Can someone give me a hint about how to proceed here?
