Karl- check .profile and .bashrc for any manipulations of JAVA_HOME or CATALINA_HOME or CATALINA_BASE have you noticed any specific errors in either the logs or stacktrace?

So maybe you can tell us some more : - how did you install Tomcat ? where did you get it ? - what version is it ? (go to the "bin" directory of tomcat, and run "./version.sh"; paste the result here)(*) - what version is the JVM ? ("java -version" may tell you, if the above doesn't) - can you give us the exact paths where you installed your servlet files ? (the servlet itself and the web.xml file) - in the Tomcat "conf" directory (in your case, it may be in /etc/tomcatxx), there is a file "server.xml". In that file, is a <Host> tag, which gives the path for the webapps directory (in the "appBase" attribute). Which is that ? (*) if this is a "packaged" tomcat, this may complain that JAVA_HOME is not set. If so, you first have to locate what JAVA_HOME should be set to. Look then in /etc/init.d/tomcatxx to find out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
