Tomcat5 - Error : catalina.bat startup script is missing
Re: Static deployment of a previously tested-out web application (non
compressed files)
Dear Good IT Samaritans,
I re-installed all the software applications on my PC, amongst others :
° Windows XP - Home edition - Version 2002 - Service Pack 3
° jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-windows-ml
° apache-tomcat-5.5.27.zip (from the
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi site; not from the
jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/ site)
° mysql-5.0.67-win32 + a. dozen of plug-ins (proposed automatically) +
choosen plug-ins as for XML
Environment variables JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME have been set on a
classical way to their right respective path values (C:\program
files\java\jdk1.6.0_07 and C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-5.5.27).
In NetBeans, I re-installed an existing web application (Java, JSP,
servlets, JBeans, SQL, JDBC, XML ...) that I know which was running well on
Tomcat before re-installation by simply copying the set of files and folders
from the previous installation (static deployment / Same 'Context'). Now in
NetBeans, I get the following deployment error at the start of run time :
"Starting of Tomcat failed, the C:\Program
Files\apache-tomcat-5.5.27\bin\catalina.bat startup script is missing."
In the following developers' forums, I did not found the right remedy or
advice to me :

So, I discarded and re-installed the NetBeans installation from my the
"NetBeans jdk-6u7-nb-6_1-windows-ml.exe" installation file (that I put aside
previously - It is not an "installer" file that I downloaded); Without
success.
Verification of Tools > Servers ... All the settings at the different tabs
seem to be OK.
Looking to the"Program Files\apache-tomcat-5.5.27\bin" folder (by means of a
DOS-shell), I discovered that this installation of Tomcat does not feature a
"catalina.bat" file (that NetBeans assumes to activate), hence "missing
script".
Is it true that this problem could be solved if I re-install (again) Tomcat5
in the root of C: (not under C:\Program Files) ? I wonder if the
installation wizard enables to make this choice. Or under D:\ ?
Which is the file substituting the catalina.bat file ? In %CATALINA_HOME%
directory, isn't it ? How to tell NetBeans to use this file to start up ?
Which other version of apache-tomcat-5.5.27.zip file comes with the start
and stop batch files ?
- - - - - - - - - - -
I found the page http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html
and especially that ...
[quote]
The locations for Context Descriptors are;
1. $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/context.xml
2. $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/[webappname]/META-INF/context.xml
Files in (1) are named [webappname].xml but files in (2) are named
context.xml.
If a Context Descriptor is not provided for a Context, Tomcat configures the
Context using default values.
[/quote]
I observed that ...
° my '[webappname].xml' is present. This file contains a <Context> tag
which, among others, contains a 'docBase' attribute whose value is the path
to a [webappname]\build\web directory place which in turn contains the
directories
- WEB-INF, containing the 'web.xml' contect file
- META-INF, containing the 'context.xml' file.
° my 'context.xml' is not present (see above) --> Does Tomcat configure the
Context using its default values, or does it make use of the 'context.xml'
file in the 'META-INF' directory ?

Kindly help me out, please.
Thanks

Re: Tomcat5 - Error : catalina.bat startup script is missing
Posted by André Warnier <aw...@ice-sa.com>.
In your Tomcat\bin directory, is there a (small) file called tomcat5.exe
, and another called tomcat5w.exe ?
If yes, then this will explain what is currently going on :
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html
(Note : it is also linked to what you will find here :
http://commons.apache.org/daemon/
Look for the "procrun" link)
To get the "standard" bin files (including statup.sh), I suggest to
download a "standard" Tomcat, unpack it in a new directory, and then
just copy the missing files from that \bin subdirectory to your current
one. That will give you a startup.bat, startup.sh etc..
Now, whether this is the "good" solution to your problem below, that I
don't know.
