problem starting Tomcat
Hi
I have just installed Tomcat 5.0.28 on my XP machine and I am having
trouble starting it.
Here's the output that Catalina.bat produces:
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11
"C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\bin\java"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\c
ommon\endorsed" -classpath
"C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\lib\tools.jar;C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0
.28\bin\bootstrap.jar" -Dcatalina.base="C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28"
-Dcatalina.hom
e="C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28"
-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\temp" or
g.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
at
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClas
sLoader.java:854)
at
org.apache.catalina.loader.StandardClassLoader.loadClass(StandardClas
sLoader.java:721)
at
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:205)
at
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:402)
Because of corporate user restrictions, I cannot modify Path environment
variable. It should not matter though because it's trying to use java
executable directly from JDK installation folder. It looks like it
cannot find C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 folder even though that's where
Tomcat files are. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Nor should he do so. Tomcat uses its own classloaders, not the JVM
system class loader, to find and initialize all classes other than those
in bootstrap.jar. If you don't know how Tomcat class loading works,
please review the doc:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html

Why are you using such an old level rather than the current 5.5.20?
> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
This indicates that the installation was incorrect. Could be an access
permissions problem, or the necessary files were not copied to the
proper locations. The above class should be located in:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\server\lib\catalina.jar
Is it?
