can't start tomcat 4
Hello List,
i'm completetly new to tomcat and to this list.
I've installed the jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b7-src on a Mandrake 8.0 Linux.
I proceeded with the BUILDING.txt-file and could run the "ant dist" cmd
successfull in the <tomcat.home>
I've then trying to start tomcat as described, but it fails. I have the
message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap" in the catalina.out file.
not very close to java, what's not found?
Thnx for hints
Renato Testa

Had the same problem. Set CATALINA_HOME variable in
your startup scripts eg in the '/etc/profile' for the
Linux or in the Environment variables in Windows
NT/2000.
Then logoff and login then try starting TC4.

Since it's Java, you don't *have* to build it, would have saved yourself a
lot of time and trouble if you just want to run it, just download the binary
distro ;)
bootstrap.jar should be in the $CATALINA_HOME/bin directory.
I'm not familiar enough with the TC4 build process to try and troubleshoot
it =/
