Tomcat-4.0.3 to Tomcat-4.1.18 causes LogConfigurationException

Hi,

We've upgraded from Tomcat-4.0.3 to Tomcat-4.1.18 and are now getting an
intermittant error which causes Tomcat to fail completely :(

The error is in stderr.log:

We did not get a problem with Tomcat-4.0.3. The application uses
log4j-1.2.6.jar, commons logging contains:

org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JCategory
.

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this ?

Please help : Urgent : Tomcat 4.1.18 start problem

Posted by 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
