I got my copy from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi. I shut down the computer, then turned it on again. Issued $ sudo sh /usr/local/bin/tomcat/bin/startup.sh. Bingo. EVERYTHING is working again. I dont know why. Can file permissions play a role here? Should *.class file be executable (for instance, 755)? (I run Linux (Ubuntu 7.04).) $ ls -ld apache-tomcat-5.5.23/ drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2007-08-13 19:11 apache-tomcat-5.5.23/ *.class file are owned by my user account (tuope). My umask settings give them a '-rw-------' permission mode by default. Should all the class files I put in /usr/local/bin/tomcat/shared/classes, be owned by root? Thanks for your time!
