well, listen to this. I formatted my PC (not because of the axis problem!), reinstalled the same versions of Tomcat + Apache, but used a higher version of Java (4.1.2 instead of 4.1.0), and then I installed axis just as before, and poof, it works. My main web application is not working yet properly - It could be that I'll have the same problem as soon it does. I'll find out in a day or two, and I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for the info aout the classpath. Yes, I am aware of this kind of classpath problems... being once a young Java developer!
Thanks,
GC

I didn't precisely say "global problem with the class path" and I sort of guessed that you would be a Java developer. I was simply bringing your attention to the fact that countless developer-years have been lost due to people dealing with class path problems. Your current problem seems to be such a problem.
By moving JAR files from C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib to C:\Apache\Tomcat4\common\lib you should be giving them greater exposure so more things should work. In reality you might get versioning problems between different web applications but not under a simple configuration.
Did you overwrite any JAR files when you moved to JAR files to C:\Apache\Tomcat4\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib ?

- Jeff,
- Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by saying there is a global problem with the class path? I am a java programmer, can you please give me some more information? looks like I have to know this stuff....
- I tried your advice - and it got worse: now I cannot run any other web application! Could that be the logging jars from axis are disturbing the logging jars of my existing applications?
- Here is what I get when I try to open an existing web app:
Bad Gateway
- The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
- Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) mod_jk2/2.0.4 Server at gulistan.bot.huji.ac.il Port 80
- And in the error log of tomcat:

- Stop Tomcat. Move log4j-1.2.8.jar to <Tomcat>/common/lib Start Tomcat

- and commons-logging.jar, together. If you still have a problem, then repeat
- for other JARs in <Tomcat>/webapps/axis/WEB-INF/lib
