XP/Cygwin/jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1.exe problems
I can't seem to get past square one installing tomcat beta 4.0.1 on a
newly built XP Home system with Cygwin.
The beta 4.0.1 tomcat executable is apparently having trouble finding my
jdk, but it is in my path. I have a feeling this is possibly due to
cygwin (http://cygwin.com) or maybe XP Home - not sure which. I have
j2sdk1.4.0-beta3 installed on drive C, which cygwin converts to
"/cygdrive/c/".
My jdk is in my path using both the regular (DOS), as well as the cygwin
(Unix) command windows :
C:\kits\java\Tomcat>echo %PATH%
c:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\bin;c:\Cygwin\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\
System32\Wbem;C:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
C:\kits\java\Tomcat> env|grep PATH
HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\dave
PATH=/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.0-beta3/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cyg
drive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/j2sdk1.4.0-beta3/b
in:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/COMMAND
Similarly, the java exe is visible in my path through both the regular
(DOS), as well as the cygwin (Unix) command windows :
C:\kits\java\Tomcat> java -version
java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)
$ java -version
java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)
Anyone else done much with cygwin? How about Windows XP Home? This is
the first time I've tried to install Tomcat since upgrading to XP and I
installed Cygwin prior to attempting Tomcat as well.

tomcat 4.0.1 & shortname(non-8.3) CATALINA_HOME
Posted by "David C. Hochrein" <ho...@mail.msen.com>.
Hello All,
I'm seeing some odd behavior with Tomcat 4.0.1 on NT/2k and installation
directories containing anything greater than 8.3 naming.
I'd like to know if anyone else has seen this or if perhaps this is a known
issue.
I originally noticed this problem because the examples & manager webapps
would always result in 404 errors whenever Tomcat 4.0.1 was installed into a
non-8.3 directory (ie any directory that has a corresponding short name with
~. with or without spaces -- doesn't matter). Everything else worked
great -- my application was working just fine.
In tracking this down, I found the following entry in the log files:
> 2001-12-05 18:22:44 ContextConfig[/manager]: Missing application web.xml,
> using defaults only
> ...
> 2001-12-05 18:23:17 ContextConfig[/examples]: Missing application web.xml,
> using defaults only
And, after some testing, I found that the non-8.3 installation directory was
causing the problem. So, I assumed that a longname was being used somewhere
that it shouldn't be and went about tracking it down. I intended to then
convert it to the short name and all would be well.
Unfortunately, I found that short names were being used correctly everywhere
and the problem still existed.
At this point, I've boiled this down to the following test case(s).
1. Take a 4.0.1 binary release (zip file). Copy the contents to
"C:\123456789". Setup CATALINA_HOME to it's shortname version: (probably
"C:\123456~1"). Run bin\startup.bat. Notice the 404 errors for the examples
& manager webapps. Run bin\shutdown.bat to stop Tomcat.
2. Now, copy the 4.0.1 binary release to "C:\12345678". Setup CATALINA HOME
again (it can now be just "C:\12345678"). Run the bin\startup.bat again.
Now, notice that the examples & manager webapps work just fine.
Very strange. It seems as though shortname versions (including ~) of
longnames for the installation directory *cannot* be used for CATALINA_HOME
because Tomcat 4.0.1 doesn't like it. (In fact, if you set CATALINA_HOME to
the full "C:\123456789" path for the first case, this also resolves the
issue.)
Finally, I grabbed a nightly build from 12/7 and this problem no longer
appears to exist on the development codebase. So, it looks like this was a
known issue that has been resolved or perhaps it's resolution is a side
effect of some other changes.
The problem I still have is that my configuration code converts everything
to shortnames (which is usually the proper thing to do). But, in this case,
it is causing Tomcat to fail. I guess I can use the longname for
CATALINA_HOME -- it just seems a strange thing to have to do.
Anyone else see this or have any thoughts?

cool. I don't think it has anything to do with cygwin. If I double click
the install.exe I get the error. The install some how is looking/or not
looking for some other determining fact that jdk is installed. :(
Glad your up and working though....
I'll keep an eye on the list and see what others say.

I've confirmed that using the tomcat 4.1.0 zip file seems to work fine (so
far
anyway) on XP Home with Cygwin.
It might be interesting to know whether anyone is able to run the tomcat
4.0.1
exe on XP without Cygwin installed.

I just tried the executable that I did not delete and it gave me the error.
so I must have installed that zipped version.
THIS MUST BE A BUG WITH THE INSTALL.exe ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS??????

Yes, I meant to mention that I also tried setting the JAVA_HOME variable
using
the NT-style Advanced Control Panel GUI (instead of slamming it into the
autoexec.bat). I also downloaded the zip and I assume that will work just
fine,
but I thought it might be interesting to the developers that the exe is
having
this problem.
Thanks - I'll send an update once I successfully install the zip.

Yes, I meant to mention that I also tried setting the JAVA_HOME variable using
the NT-style Advanced Control Panel GUI (instead of slamming it into the
autoexec.bat). I also downloaded the zip and I assume that will work just fine,
but I thought it might be interesting to the developers that the exe is having
this problem.
Thanks - I'll send an update once I successfully install the zip.

David, I really can not remember how I fixed it. Did you right click on
myComputer and select properties and then select advanced and select the
environment variables botton? if not add it there under system variables.
sorry if you've done this just being specific.
I also remember donw loading just the zipped version and I may have

Hi David, I have cygwin and win2000 but I had the same problem the other
night. I think mine was just a typo in my Windows java_home env.
Which executable are you trying when you get the error?
Also what is the exact error?

I can't seem to get past square one installing tomcat beta 4.0.1 on a
newly built XP Home system with Cygwin.
The beta 4.0.1 tomcat executable is apparently having trouble finding my
jdk, but it is in my path. I have a feeling this is possibly due to
cygwin (http://cygwin.com) or maybe XP Home - not sure which. I have
j2sdk1.4.0-beta3 installed on drive C, which cygwin converts to
"/cygdrive/c/".
My jdk is in my path using both the regular (DOS), as well as the cygwin
(Unix) command windows :
C:\kits\java\Tomcat>echo %PATH%
c:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\bin;c:\Cygwin\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WIND
OWS\
System32\Wbem;C:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

Similarly, the java exe is visible in my path through both the regular
(DOS), as well as the cygwin (Unix) command windows :
C:\kits\java\Tomcat> java -version
java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)

Anyone else done much with cygwin? How about Windows XP Home? This is
the first time I've tried to install Tomcat since upgrading to XP and I
installed Cygwin prior to attempting Tomcat as well.
