Please help : Urgent : Tomcat 4.1.18 start problem

[Selvaraj N <se...@india.hp.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to use the following command on unix to start Tomcat 4.1.18
server. But, when I use the same command to start Tomcat 4.0.3, it
starts fine.

/opt/java/bin/java
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="/opt/tomcat/bin:/opt/tomcat/common/lib" -classpath
"/opt/java/jre/lib/rt.jar:/opt/java/lib/tools.jar:/opt/tomcat/bin/bootst
rap
.jar" -Dcatalina.base="/opt/tomcat" -Dcatalina.home="/opt/tomcat"
-Djava.io.tmpdir="/opt/tomcat/temp"
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -config
"/opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml" start


The following was the error message :

org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException:

As I mentioned, Tomcat 4.0.3 server starts wit out any problem. Please
help me out to solve this problem as this is very critical for us.

Thanks in  advance,
Selva
