You need to place the Jar file that contains the org/apache/tomcat/util.log/SystemLoghandler class in your %tomcat_home%/common/lib folder. I am not going to research and find that jar file you. I will let that be an assignment for you.

Which I did. Same for TOMCAT_HOME/bin which contains common-daemon.jar. As you can see above my CLASSPATH contains all of the necessary references. I have also placed commons-logging.jar in common/lib. Any fresh ideas?
