I just type ./startup.sh, but then I am using a later version.
You would likely get better help at a Tomcat forum.
And then, you need to post what your error is. "Facing a problem" isn't helpful.

Problems in starting tomcat server

Hi,
I installed jdk 1.4 and tomcat 5.0.19 which are running successfully.
Installed jdk1.5 on same PC.Not able to start tomcat now.
The tomcat sttings are with jdk1.4 only.
Thanks,
MKP

Yes, if your TomCat is running, right click on the trayicon -> configure -> java tab and go to
'Java Virtual Machine' and change it to something like:
C:\Arquivos de programas\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\client\jvm.dll
It will solve the problem

Problem in Starting tomcat in new window

I Have configured tomcat set environment and done all the stuff but while starting tomcat
Another DOS window breifly opens and closes, (I can
not read the message in
that window), and the above window remains open.
I do not get a new window or anything after this. I
tried opening my browser
and typing http://localhost:8080/ in the address
line, but I get the
"Cannot find server or DNS Error" from the browser.
I tried changing the
port to 80 instead of 8080, but that doesn't work
either.
I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can help get me
past this issue.

I would suggest deleting all the log files under tomcat\logs and then try starting it up. When it fails go to the logs folder and look through all the files that were created and see if there is any error message. it should tell you why its not starting properly.

Problem to start tomcat in Business Objects Edge 3.1

I can not start Tomcat 5.5 installed and deployed from the Business Objects BI Edge 3.1.
BO installs normally, but Tomcat does not start.
I tried to start tomcat from the control panel -> administrative tools -> services. But also not start.
You receive the following message: Windows could start in Apache Tomcat 5.5.20 on the local computer.

Make sure you check the following file: $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes/filters/SetCharacterEncodingFilter.class. Make sure it's spelled .class and not .clas. When trying to expand it, the name gets truncated.

Start Tomcat 5.5 with Security Manager

Recently, i have installed Tomcat version 5.5.8 but i have problem to start tomcat with a Securiy manager.
For Tomcat version 4.xx we could start Tomcat with SecurityManager by using the "-security" option at "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup.bat" after configured the catalina.policy file.
But i couldn't do so at Tomcat 5.5.8. Any idea? Many Thanks.

Start it yourself with
java -Dcatalina.home=$CATALINA_HOME -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=="your.policy" -cp your.classpath org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
Cheers,
Arnaud

            </classpath>
        </java>
    </target>The problem I have is, when using another target which depends on the tomcat start target, for example my list target:
    <target name="list" depends="start" description="list installed web applications">
        <list url="${url}" username="${username}"
            password="${password}"/>
    </target>When executing the list target, tomcat starts up correctly but the list target is not executed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
- Stephan

No, I don't think that's the problem.
In my opinion, the problem has something to do with
fork="yes"in the start target.
But how can I tell ant to first execute another target (the target that starts tomcat) and then execute for example the list target (which lists all the installed web apps)? When using the depends attribute it doesn't work:
<target name="list" depends="start">
    <list url=.../>
</target>When executing the list target, tomcat starts automatically (start target) but the list target is not executed after that :-(
Any ideas?
Best regards

Have you been editing server.xml?
Check that it is valid xml.

Problem starting Tomcat web server in Ubuntu.

Hi every one,
I use Ubuntu OS.I have installed J2sdk.I want to start tomcat webserver but whenever i start the server I get an error as
'/usr/share/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh: line 41: setJava: No such file or directory'
I tried removing the line, to find out the cause of that error.When I removed line 41 , it showed JAVA_HOME variables not set.
I have set JAVA_HOME varible as
'/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/javac/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/'
line 41 is '. setJava --devel Java2'
Could anyone help me to solve this issue?
And Thanks in advance

Problem while starting Apache Tomcat Server (Ports already in use)...

Hi,
I am using an Eclipse IDE for web service Client creation.. Also I have used Apache Tomcat5.5 Server inorder to run the application*...*
While starting Tomcat Server, I am getting an error that the port numbers are already in use.
So, I have changed the port numbers in the Server.xml file.
But, still it is throwing the same error , even though the port numbers are not in use.
Can any one please provide some suitable solution for this ASAP....
I need very urgent and so please provide some solution..
Thanks in Advance,
roopa

Hey...
Did u start restarting your machine after you changed the ports..
Is your tomcat server running perfectly after you changed the port number...
I had a similar prob.. But i jus reinstalled both and gave different port numbers while re-installling.
Jus give it it a try.. The ports need to be refreshed.. So try rebooting yr machine first !
All the best !

Problem while starting Apache/Tomcat as a NT Service

We are having a virtual folder which is mapped to a network physical folder.In this case while starting Apache/Tomcat as NT service it fails to map that folder.If we start the Tomcat as a Standalone service(using start menu) it works fine.I don't know which one is best whether starting tomcat as standalone or NT service.Provide a better solution

You want to run it as an NT Service if you want Tomcat running when you are logged off. Otherwise, you can just run it manually.

Data refresh problem - QaaWS and Tomcat cache

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with data refreshing in Xcelsius 2008 dashboard when I use QaaWS.
System is: BO XI 3.1 on the Win2008 server.
When data are changing in the database InfoView documents show it immediately, but into the Xcelsius dashboards new data not coming.
In the dashboards I use auto refresh, and Refresh button too... It doesn't help.
New data are appearing just after restarting of Tomcat.
Maybe Tomcat is caching data...?
Do somebody have similar issue? Could you suggest me something to do?
Thx,
János

Hi Janos,
Tomcat has cache which the default time is 60 seconds.
You can change the cache time when you create QaaWS wsdl.
If you do NOT want the cache, you can
1. locate to: ${BOE Install Path}\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
2. Open dsws.properties
3. Find the property qaaws.cache_dpresult.optim= and set it to false.
4. Re-start tomcat.
Hope this can help!
