Re: tomcat 5 will not start

Hi Remy,

Thanks for your reply.
I followed your instruction and Put a "." as the docBase and this enabled Tomcat to start without error.

However this has now highlighted another problem for me, Tomcat doesn't seem to acknowledge the appBase that I have within the Host section of server.xml. I see in the apache logs that the server is defaulting to the location <tomcat-home>/server/webapps/ instead of the path specified in "appBase". I've checked the config files in the conf dir and can't see why it would do this. I've also tried different configs for appBase, docBase and path but no good. How can I stop Tomcat/Apace from defaulting to the tomcat-home ?

This is probably a really easy solution and I apologise for not seeing it, I am a newbie and have to start somewhere.

Thanks for your time,

Hi All,

I've recently unpacked tomcat 5.0.16 and am trying to use it with Apache 2 and the Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 connector (on Redhat linux 7.3). When I try to start tomcat using the startup.sh script, it appears to start briefly (I can see Java processes) then all the processes just die. I see the following in the catalina.out :

*********************
Jan 11, 2004 4:10:17 PM org.apache.commons.digester.Digester startElement
SEVERE: Begin event threw exception
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
       at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1480)
       at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1447)
.......

Stack traces should at least go up to the first Tomcat class, otherwise, you might as well not give the exception.

*********************
The error appears to be related to the "Coyote/JK2 AJP 1.3 connector" Host sections in my server.xml. When I hash out the "Host" sections in my server.xml Tomcat does not die. Even simple jsp apps in the Host section seem to cause the problem. I've searched google and the archives but have not found anyone with a similar issue.

Previously this was all working for Tomcat 4, if you can think what might be causing this problem please let me know.

I'll list my server.xml below in case you want to view it,

Thanks for your time

Anthony

Use "." as the docBase.
