I've upgraded my development station to match our production server which
runs jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31. When I go to http://localhost:8080, it fails to
render index.jsp. I've included the full error response below.
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02, and
when I start tomcat, the following correct info is displayed:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02
There was a funny RedHat javac symlink (the OS is RedHat AS3) in /usr/bin
pointing to /etc/alternatives/javac. Just in case that was somehow the
problem, I replaced it with a link pointing to
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin/javac. Also, /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin is in
the PATH environment variable before /usr/bin. Those are the only things I
can thing of that might be at issue. I normally work with pure servlets and
not JSPs, so I'm not sure what else I need to look at.
Thanks,
Rob
