Re: Tomcat won't start

Probably it is not that, but I had a similar problem and I edited the startup file to echo the values of the variables.
It showed what I expected.
The problem is that tomcat is started in another shell.
This new shell doesn't have its parent's environment variables, only the ones set globally.
Bye,

I don't think that is the problem.  The startup script has no problem
reading JAVA_HOME or CATALINA_HOME.  It is only after bootstrap.jar is
executed and the server.xml file is read that the problem occurs.  It is
almost like the classloader that is being used cannot see catalina.jar
in /server/lib.  Is there any way to determine what classpaths are
available to the classloader at that point?

I have had a similar problema, but on win XP. The problem was due to the fact that I had set the JAVA_HOME and the CATALINA_HOME as session variable and not like system ones.
Don't know if this is the case, but....
Good luck!

The problem posted below appears to be caused by Tomcat not

being able

to find catalina.jar. This file should be (and is) located in catalina_home/server/lib. Anybody know why Tomcat would

have problems

finding it?






One of our servers running Tomcat as started experiencing an
odd problem. Tomcat will not start, it is complaining about not being able to find some classes. The problem started shortly after applying some updates using YAST. The exception it throws is shown below. We are running Tomcat 4.1.24 on JDK 1.4.1-b21 on SUSE 8. We have another server with a very similar config that works perfectly (only difference is the distribution it runs on, RH vs SUSE) I have checked CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME and they both point to the correct locations. I modified catalina.sh to display the CLASSPATH it uses when starting catalina and included it as well. There are a couple references to this problem in the mailing list archives, but it was never answered.

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
CATALINA_HOME=/opt/jakarta
CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/java/lib/tools.jar:/opt/jakarta/bin/bootstrap.jar

Any ideas?
