Jason - Related to this issue: class loading. If a JAR is required by a web-app, the JAR should be placed in the web-app's WEB-INF/lib directory. If said JAR is required by multiple web-apps, the JAR should go in <TOMCAT_HOME>/common/lib. If said JAR is required by multiple web-apps, as well as, by Java apps not running on Tomcat, should the JAR be moved to the SDK ext directory? I'm trying to avoid accumulating multiple copies of the same JAR.

Delete the CATALINA_HOME environment variable 2. Make sure your JDK install is a vanilla install ie. you haven't put anything in JAVA_HOME\lib\ext 3. Install Tomcat 4.1.24 somewhere like C:\tomcat4 just by extracting the full zip file. 4. REBOOT 5. From the command line run C:\tomcat4\bin\startup.bat --> startup.log If it works brilliant, if it doesn't can you post the contents of startup.log?

A post in the archive suggested editing out the JMX MBeans stuff in server.xml and it worked for the original poster, so if you don't need it (if you don't know what it is it is likely that you don't) so in server.xml comment out the following: <!-- Uncomment these entries to enable JMX MBeans support --> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.ServerLifecycleListener" debug="0"/> <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener" debug="0"/> I would be more tempted to look more at the environment variables and possible problems from the long paths though as a proper solution.
