PLEASE HELP...
 
I have been trying to get tomcat started up for last two days... I have checked the faq site and gone through the complete mailing list and I have not found any answer to my problem so far...
 
Need help urgently.....
 
I am using a Pentium Celeron 266 machine with 64 MB RAM, running on Win98.
My tomcat is installed in d:\tomcat(No question of non 8.3 format directory name here)
My jdk is installed in d:\jdk1.3 (Java2 SDK 1.3)
 
My classpath is correctly set up to include d:\tomcat\classes and all the jar files in tomcat\lib directory ie; ant.jar, jasper.jar,jaxp.jar,parser.jar,servlet.jar and webserver.jar
 
The classpath is also set up to take d:\jdk1.3\lib\tools.jar (tools.jar does exist in this directory)
 
I have set TOMCAT_HOME=d:\tomcat
I have set JAVA_HOME =d:\jdk1.3
 
When running I have noticed that the JAVA_HOME & TOMCAT_HOME environment variables are correctly set to d:\jdk1.3 and d:\tomcat respectively.
 
The dos prompt displays some lines of count=0 total=xxx and then
terminates with an Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError : org/apache/tomcat/startup/Tomcat
 
(This corresponds to the command
java -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
of tomcat.bat file)
 
Can anyone tell me what all that %2 %3 etc means. Are they the command line parameters??
 
I have noticed that there is no directory structure corresponding to org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat class (package.class name) in the tomcat root. (This directory structure is available in the src directory with a Tomcat class. I guess this class file should be  in one of the jar files in lib directory)
 
I also noticed that there is no  file in my tomcat directory (or any on which the java command is being called.
 
P.S : I have removed all other classlibraries in my autoexec.bat classpath set up except jdk\lib.
 
I am not able to figure out the problem inspite of being at it for two days.
 
PLEASE HELP!! I have become obsessed in solving this problem....
 
Thank you

Wish you all a very happy New Year
