I need help as soon as possible..
Hello.
I'm Jaime Almeida, a portuguese student and I've a big problem with the
tomcat6.0 server - it doesn't start. I've already reinstalled it and
nothing, always the same error:
'The archive: C:/Program Files/Tomcat 6.0/bin/bootstrap.jar which is
referenced by the classpath, does not exist.'
But that's not truth, because I've checked the refered folder and I have the
bootstrap.jar file in there, that's why I don't understand the problem.
Do you have any idea what could be - why this happens?
Please help me as soon as possible because my Final Project is depending on
it.
Best regards,
Jaime Almeida.

I doubt this is it, but I would avoid installing tomcat into a
directory containing spaces. It may be looking for the jar file in
"c:\Program"

Ok.
I'll follow your instructions and I'll see what I can get with it.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,

You didn't upset me (I'm too old for that), but it's a typical newbie
mistake that will cause fewer people to be interested in your message.

Can you successfully run Tomcat outside of Eclipse? If so, then this is
an Eclipse, not Tomcat problem.
> I've installed Tomcat directly from the ApacheFoundation.org
Which is not tomcat.apache.org, which is where you really should be
looking.

Something must have changed. Make sure you don't have a global
CLASSPATH environment variable set up, and try it again. If that fails,
try removing your current Tomcat installation (including the service),
then download and install the .zip version rather than the .exe one.
The .zip version includes startup and shutdown scripts that make
debugging Tomcat problems a bit easier. Also follow Mark D's suggestion
of installing Tomcat in a directory without spaces in the name.
> I have the Windows Vista in my computer
Tomcat does successfully run on Vista, so that's not an inherent issue.
However, Vista security seems to be a bit more restrictive than XP; it's
possible something triggered an access restriction, but it's not really
likely.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
But I'm really in trouble with the tomcat server.
The error appears in a message box launched by the server in the Eclipse.
I've installed Tomcat directly from the ApacheFoundation.org, pushing the
'run' button on the download dialog box.
I guess I didn't nothing wrong because I've already used the server before,
without problems...
But one of this days, when I've tryed to run my application 'on server', the
problem appeared, I don't know why.
There might be any problem with my Operation System? I have the Windows
Vista in my computer - can be that any problem?
Best regards,
Jaime Almeida.

And where do you see this error? What are you doing to provoke this
error? How did you install Tomcat, from the .zip or the .exe download?
What platform are you using?
