RE: starting tomcat

[Jeff Klein]

Ciaran, for whatever its worth, the class that it is not finding is in webserver.jar.  I see that you have that in your classpath (%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\webserver.jar), so it makes me think that your TOMCAT_HOME may be pointing to the wrong place.  By the way, it is not necessary to explicitly put each jar file into your classpath because the startup script handles that for you.  Best of luck, Jeff       -----Original Message----- From: Ciaran Scullion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2000 9:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: starting tomcat Hi ,       I am a new user to tomcat on a win 98 platform ....       I am having some problems with installing tomcat on my pc basically I have a tomcat_home variable set to c:\tomcat                                 Java_home is set to C:\VisualCafe\JAVA2   my path is set to the following                  SET PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\BIN;C:tomcat\bin;........   my class path is set to the following  SET CLASSPATH=.;%JAVA_HOME%\lib; %TOMCAT_HOME%\classes; %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\jasper.jar; %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\servlet.jar;%TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\xml.jar; %TOMCAT_HOME%\lib\webserver.jar; %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;   when I go in to the tomcat directory I have set up and call bin\startup or bin\tomcat run  I get the following error   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/startup does any one have any ideas ??   go raibh mile maith agut ( thank you in Irish) Niambh
