Tomcat 7.0.42 startup failure: FindClass
org/apache/catalina/startup/Boostrap failed
Background: Switching from Adobe JRun4 for ColdFusion and Java to Tomcat 7.0.42. Have 10 years of experience with JRun4 as J2EE application server, so am familiar with some of the issues involved.
Initial Install: Installed Tomcat 7.0.42 on Windows 2012 and created an instance following these instructions: http://www.ansoncheunghk.info/article/5-steps-install-multiple-apache-tomcat-instance-windows

I cannot find any configuration errors within the server.xml and, of course, the error is regarding the Bootstrap.
Any ideas what would be causing the error?

No problem. It's nice to know there are some competent system
administrators out there who know how do a complicated deployment
properly :)

Make sure you can get one Tomcat instance running as a service with
split home/base and then you can just duplicate everything each time.
Remember you'll obviously need separate CATALINA_BASE (for port
numbers) and Windows Service names for each instance.

Chris,
Thanks for the quick reply. Am uninstalling it all and starting over. We have an extensive installation of ColdFusion 9 and Java running on JRun4 to provide line-of-business application isolation for security, etc.; it includes about 90 instances as well as nearly 80 web sites. As a result, I need to be able cluster multiple instances for session-replication and loading-balance; that allows me to stop/start instances for maintenance or troubleshooting without bringing business to a halt. And to complicate it all, we are running a multi-tiered (ColdFusion/Java 'distributed mode') configuration with remote web server clusters accessing the ColdFusion/JRun clusters. As you can see, I have a lot of details to deal with in the migration. :)
Will start over and see how it goes. And yes, I have read the RUNNING.txt and still have had problems; hence, the uninstall and start over.
Thanks,
Scott

can simplify that installation process to 2 steps:
1. Download Tomcat from tomcat.apache.org 2. Launch the installer
Do you actually need multiple instances? The guide above has you duplicate the Tomcat installation in its entirety and that is not necessary at all: you can run multiple instances with a single "installation", but you do in fact need separate CATALINA_BASE directories. (The term CATALINA_BASE is derived from the environment variable that is consulted when locating instance-specific configuration for multi-instance environment. CATALINA_HOME points to the true Tomcat installation, where Tomcat's scripts, libraries, etc.
can be found.)
I would encourage you to look at the RUNNING.txt file that should have come with your distribution of Tomcat, particularly the "Advanced Configuration - Multiple Tomcat Instances" section. You should also read the "Apache Commons Daemon" section because that section describes (briefly, with documentation references) how Tomcat's Windows services work.
Once you understand that, setting-up multiple instances as services should make a whole lot more sense, and you'll be able to do it without a guide of any kind.

What is in C:\Apache3? Is that a complete Tomcat installation, or is that more of a CATALINA_BASE which just has configuration files and your webapp(s)?
