problem in Tomcat 3.1

[Shivraj Asthana <sh...@lycos.com>]

Hi,

I installed Tomcat with Apache on Windows NT ,JDK1.2.2.
It installed OK and I could configure it to run with Apache.

But after a while ( 1 hr) when i stopped and restarted Tomcat
the home page did nit appear (404 error). Effort to run example
or Admin or JSP produces the following error :

Error: 500
Location: /admin
Internal Servlet Error:

java.lang.NullPointerException: 
	at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.serveFile(DefaultServlet.java:301)
	at org.apache.tomcat.servlets.DefaultServlet.doGet(DefaultServlet.java:218)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:499)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:588)
	at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java, Compiled Code)
	at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:559)
	at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:160)
	at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpConnectionThread.run(SimpleTcpEndpoint.java:338)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479)


It refuses to throw any more light.
When I installed it on Linux(Red Hat 6.0 jdk 1.2.1) it ran well for a couple of days and when I stopped and restarted it
the same erro came back.

Can some kind soul help ?

Thanks

shivraj
