Re: Error starting Tomcat

Konstantin:

I am very glad that I found this thread. For a week I have been struggling
with this problem. 

I have Tomcat7 running. My application which was running just fine under
Tomcat5 does not run under Tomcat7. I have created setupclasspath.sh with
all the necessary JARs. My Tomcat starts fine and I see the opening page.
Even my Axis comes up ok but not my application. 

I start Tomcat with ./startup.sh and I do not use Eclipse. The message that
I get is 

***********
Oct 20, 2011 3:04:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase
addChildInternal

***********

I tried reading this thread but I cannot understand what exactly I should do
in my setup. I see only one 

/opt/tomcat7/lib/servlet-api.jar and this file is inside my CLASSPATH. 

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If this is a new problem, please start a new thread.

That's not likely to help matters, don't do that.

Sounds like there may have been some configuration changes to the various xml files that pertain to your app, between versions 5 and 7 I mean.  Did you change any of the server.xml, and friends, when migrating?
