Hi Hardy,
I will be trying it out again tomorrow afresh after restoring the system to
before the attempted upgrade. I am using a script I created in /etc/init.d
for starting/stopping Tomcat. I will also try Shaun Donovan's information
which he sent directly to me and shown below. I will update you how it on
progress. Thanks again for the help.
Best
Nason
I had this problem, not on xmlui but on oai. I found the following on the
web and tried it, and it worked.
Check Inside the Following Directory for the jar file el-api.jar
:C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.39\lib\el-api.jar if it exists then in this
directory of your web application WEB-INF\lib\el-api.jar the jar
should be removed
What I did is find the file, and moved it, then the app started without
issues. This was on a development machine. I then tried it on the
production machine and my oai would still not start. I had other issues in
my catalina.out which pointed to the web.xml file in tomcats conf directory
which had <!-- comments within a comment, which I also removed, and then
production worked as well.
