Tomcat4-4.1.10 Startup Issue (LINUX)

[Ben Hamilton <be...@benandcassandra.com>]

Installation:
I've loaded java from the binary install application for j2sdk from the
java.sun.com site. I've modified the /etc/profile to include the
CLASSPATH listed below.
In a directory with three rpms:
tomcat4-4.1.10-full.1jpp.noarch.rpm
tomcat4-admin-webapps-4.1.10-full.1jpp.noarch.rpm
tomcat4-webapps-4.1.10-full.1jpp.noarch.rpm
I've issued the following command.
rpm -i *.rpm
Results in an installation without errors given.

I've created the /etc/java.conf with the line:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
/usr/java/bin is the bin directory from the jdk that contains java,
javac and the rest of the binaries for the jdk. /usr/java/lib/ext
contains the .jar files distributed with the jdk and jre.

PROBLEM:
When issuing the command 'tomcat4 run' the error below is generated. To
me there seem to be two problems: 1) "ERROR reading
/var/tomcat4/conf/server.xml". I've made sure that the tomcat4 user owns
the files in /var/tomcat4 and /etc/tomcat4 - besides file permissions
what does tomcat need to read the file? 2) The remaining portion of the
error seems to indicate something in the startup of Catalina cannot find
a class or a file that is apparently critical to a smooth launch.

Are there additional files to modify besides:
/etc/java.conf
/var/tomcat4/conf/tomcat4.conf
?

running "nmap -p 8000-9000 localhost" produces no open ports at various
points during the pause (about 5 seconds) before the errors are
generated.

I know next to nothing about java although in the last few days I've
read through the user archives and have found messages that point to
similar problems on a win32 platform. The results of those posting are
unsolved. I'm hoping this is a configuration issue that I'm just not
getting straight. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
BenH
