Tomcat does not like to have CLASSPATH set. It basically ignores it, except it sometimes doesn't, then crashes. This almost qualifies as a FAQ (actually maybe it is someplace).
I am not familiar with jmx.jar. If it is something you use for one application it should be in the .war file (and thus get put into the directory of the deployed application). If it is something that you want many applications to use it needs to go into one of the tomcat common directories. The directory location depends on the version of Tomcat, so you will need to check out the documentation for the version you are using. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mrohs, Ray Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 7:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Tomcat startup Hi, We began testing Tomcat 5 a few weeks ago. It starts OK when I'm logged in and I use '/etc/init.d/tomcat5 start'. However there is a problem when starting during the boot process. From what I can tell in the logs, it can't find jmx.jar which is normally part of the CLASSPATH definition. I set CLASSPATH in profile.local. I tried running 'sh /etc/profile.local' after boot.local and before Tomcat is supposed to start, but CLASSPATH still doesn't show up in env. I tried starting Tomcat via Yast, chkconfig, and the above command from my local /config setup, with the same result. I'm hoping there's a simple answer to this?
