Are you using startup.bat to start Tomcat when you receive this error? %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar needs to be in the classpath when starting tomcat. This gets set in catalina.bat which is involed by startup.bat. It shouldn't be necessary to do anything special on Windows. >>>[EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/30 12:30 pm >>> Hi, I'm using CVS to bring in my whole project which includes Tomcat. I can grab this just fine on any linux implementation and Tomcat will start, but on Windows I get this message: E:\---------\bin>catalina run (Using to get error output) Using CATALINA_BASE: e:\----\ Using CATALINA_HOME: e:\---\ Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: e:\----\temp Using JAVA_HOME: c:\progra~1\java\jdk1.5.0 Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap ------ But if I run the Tomcat installer, and actually install Tomcat using the
'Start Tomcat' icon, it starts with no problem. Does the installer do something different with Windows that I can't just copy the files and run them? I'd like to keep Tomcat bundled with the rest of the code and not have to do a special install for Windows. - Nic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
