Thxs Simon,
I had a typo that I was looking right at and I could not see. Nothing
like
staring to hard..
Is there a document anywhere that describes error messages? The error
message was not clear to me, but then again I am new to this.
[Kitching Simon]
For this type of error, probably not. As I said, tomcat uses an XML
parser (probably
Xerces, as it's from apache..). So the place to look for any
documentation
on xml-parser-related errors is in the Xerces(?) documentation.
In general, the documentation on tomcat isn't very in-depth. That's
the price
you pay for using open-source; who wants to write docs when they
could
be coding :-) Having said that, people are working on it, so I guess
that the
situation will improve over time. For now, though, you need to
scratch the
old noggin a bit, search the email archives, and in extreme cases,
read the
code...and for those really tough cases, there's always this group.
Cheers,
Simon
Thanks again,
Donald

Hi Don,
It looks to me like the XML parser that tomcat uses to read the file is
objecting to something in the file. Minor typos are sometimes damn
hard to spot :-)
I suggest:
(a)
try commenting out blocks of the server.xml file, and restarting.
of course, tomcat won't *run* properly with only half a config file, but
you should be able to see when the config file at least parses.
By the old divide-and-conquer method, you should be able to narrow
things down to the point you can spot the problem,
(b)
If you have made only minor changes to the default file, you can try
using "diff" to compare the version in the distribution with the one
that
doesn't work.
(c)
if all else fails, try posting the server.xml file to this group...
Cheers,
Simon

Help. I am running Apache 1.3 and Tomcat on Caldera's eServer. I was
trying make modifications to the default server.xml file. After the
modifications restarted tomcat and got the errors below. I also
returned
the server.xml to the orginal state and I still get the same error.
Any
ideas? What is the error in reference to? I have search the
documentation and can't find anything that relates.
