I've run into this before, but didn't have time to hunt down the
issue. Now I do, so here goes.
I have installed both TC 6.0.24 and 5.5.28 on Windows server 2003
32-bit (into separate directories, of course). In each case, I first
ran the windows installer .exe, and then unzipped the .zip package on
top of it so I would have the service.bat utilities. Each one started
its default service with no trouble.
I then created a service for my app with each version's service.bat
(different names), which starts from a separate folder on the HD.
With IDENTICAL settings, both pointing to the exact same
catalina_base, the 5.5 one starts fine, and 6.0 fails to start, with
the following error in stderr_20100308.log:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

Much searching of documentation and faqs has not turned up an
explanation of what I may be missing in the 6.0 installation, or what
the configuration differences are between the two versions.
Any suggestions?
I'll take a pot-shot :
If I compare my Tomcat 5.5 and 6.0 catalina_home dirs, I see that in 5.5
there is a "shared" subdir, with 2 subdirs "classes" and "lib".
On the other hand, under 6.0 there is no "shared" subdir, only a "lib".
If these sub-directories were defined as being relative to
catalina_base, that may explain your problem, no ?
(In the sense that Tomcat6.0 is looking for a class under the
catalina_base/lib subdir, but there is no such thing)
I'll play with that and see if I can figure out anything.
(If I understand well what you say above, catalina_base is really one
one and the same directory, used for both your tomcat5.5 and tomcat6.0
trials, yes ?)
Correct, and it's different from catalina_home. Catalina_home is each
version's own installation directory, and catalina_base is set the same
for both installations, at "c:\TomcatClients\myapp". 5.5 works when
pointing to that folder, and 6.0 does not.
Thanks for the suggestions...
