Are you missing a line-feed at the end of the struts-config.xml file? I've seen XML parsers get confused if the file doesn't terminate correctly. You could try adding another line-feed to the end of the file.

No Action Instance yeah, it's packaged at WEB-INF/classes/ecapp I also set the struts-config action mapping thus: <!-- database main page action --> <action path="/dbopsAction" type="ecapp.dbopsAction" scope="request"> </action> On winturd$, it runs fine either packaged, or not packaged (that is, i have two separately compiled versions: one with a package statement; one without). Neither works on unix. It has to be something really simple. I dropped the struts taglib example onto the sun tomcat server, and it works OK... but not my app. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin A.

No Action Instance Here's a silly question that's bit me a few times: are you sure that the .class file is physically packaged in the webapp? -----Original Message----- From: slickdev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 2:02 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: struts-config windows 2 unix? No Action Instance thanks all... i find that the http status 500 problem is not from extra control char's in the config, although i did clean the config file with dos2unix anyway. still getting: error 500: no action instance for <myclassname> ?????????? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
