Tomcat Failed to start.

[Gaurav Pruthi <ga...@tcs.com>]

Hi,
 
I recently installed Tomcat version 6.0.18 (Windows Installer) and installed as a service.I tried running Tomcat6.exe.
But got the following error :
 
2011-07-25 22:21:37 Commons Daemon procrun stderr initialized
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/juli/logging/LogFactory
 at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.<clinit>(Bootstrap.java:54)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.juli.logging.LogFactory
 at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
 at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

 at sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
 at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
 ... 1 more
 
I got similar error while running catalina.bat from command prompt.
After that I tried installing vsersions 7.0.16 , 6.0.32, 5.5.33  but result was same.

Environment :
Windows XP , JDK1.6.0_24 , Tomcat 6.0.18

Classpath was set correctly for " /(root) , /bin , /lib" directories of tomcat since in earlier posts I read that bootstrap.jar , tomcat-juli.jar may not be accessible since classpath is not set for them, but that thing should not be there since classpath has been set correctly.
 
Following is in the logs : 
 
[2011-07-25 22:31:15] [info]  Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.5.0 32-bit) started
[2011-07-25 22:31:15] [info]  Debugging 'tomcat5' Service...

[2011-07-25 22:31:16] [error] FindClass org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap failed.
 
 
Pls help it is really frustrating.. :(

The above is complete crap. Why do you think that is the correct way
to set classpath?

Isn't there RUNNING.txt in the archive?

Do not use such old version as 6.0.18 unless you have specific reasons.

The above is Tomcat 5.x, obviously.
