Summary: catalina.sh fails to start tomcat if conf/logging.properties is missing Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.18 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] JRE: Sun 1.6.0_10 Upon upgrading from 6.0.13 to 6.0.18 I couldn't get my Tomcat instances to start. I run 11 separate Tomcat instances on the same server all from the same CATALINA_HOME by specifying different a different CATALINA_BASE for each. After upgrading to 6.0.18 I could only get the following: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320) Could not find the main class: . Program will exit. I discovered that it was because I don't have logging.properties in CATALINA_BASE/conf/ and by putting one there (or simply creating a blank one) it would start OK. Without logging.properties, catalina.sh builds the start command to be (obtained by substituting echo for exec inside the "run" section, edited for bugzilla): <jre dir>/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=<home dir>/endorsed -classpath :<home dir>/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=<base dir> -Dcatalina.home=<home dir> -Djava.io.tmpdir=<base dir>/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start And with logging.properties the start command becomes: <jre dir>/bin/java -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -Djava.util.logging.config.file=<base dir>/conf/logging.properties -Djava.endorsed.dirs=<home dir>/endorsed -classpath :<home dir>/bin/bootstrap.jar -Dcatalina.base=<base dir> -Dcatalina.home=<home dir> -Djava.io.tmpdir=<base dir>/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start I can't suggest why this causes the JVM to have ClassLoader issues and the interesting thing is that if I copy and paste the exact start command of the no-logging.properties version (above) straight into the command-line then it starts so it's only when doing the exec inside catalina.sh that it fails. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
