You said that you upgraded from jdk 1.3 to 1.4, but could it be that your JVM is failing? In my case, I was running the JDK1.3.1_02 with the tomcat 4.0.2 rpm on RedHat 7.1. I installed it, and tried to run it. Tomcat would startup and then disappear. To fix the solution, I used the command : ulimit -s 2048
I was having a JVM Segmentation Fault (this was displayed when ever I tried to stop the tomcat service: service tomcat4 stop). Also, if you use: ps -fu tomcat4 and continually run this while tomcat is trying to startup, you might see something going on.

I am using the .rpm binary off the jakarta site, and have installed all the ancillary packages (xerces-j-1.4.4-2, regexp-1.2-1, servletapi4-4.0.2-1, tomcat4-webapps-4.0.2-3) The symptoms are completely silent failure. Eight java processes do actually start up, but they disappear within a second. invoking the dtomcat4 script in debug mode yields the following: -------------------------------- # /usr/bin/dtomcat4 debug Using CATALINA_BASE: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_HOME: /var/tomcat4 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/tomcat4/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/sdk Using CLASSPATH: /usr/java/sdk/lib/tools.jar:/var/tomcat4/bin/bootstrap.jar Initializing jdb ... > run run org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start > VM Started: The application has been disconnected # ---------------------------------- anybody know what "the application has been disconnected" might mean? Nothing ever gets into the catalina.out log file I changed my jdk to 1.4 from 1.3 as an experiment; it makes no difference I made sure the .jar files in /usr/share/java/ have symlinks in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib or $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib I have changed all the debug= values in server.xml to a nonzero integer, also pruned server.xml, but I suspect this really has nothing to do with the problem. Anyone got any suggestions? I'm stumped. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
