Please let me know where is the problem ??
Thanks. Lax.

Tomcat is telling you there is no context configured to be available from "/". Normally, this would be the default tomcat ROOT webapplication but you somehow managed to remove it (this is not a problem really, in a production environment you don't want it). If you want a context to be available on '/', you need to mount one there. So either install a webapp in the webapps/ROOT folder, or set one manually to '/' in the server.xml file. Check the tomcat docs on how to do this. Here is an example:
<Host name="localhost">
        <Context path="/" docBase="/usr/local/mywebapp" privileged="true" debug="0">
           <Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext" allowLinking="true" docBase="" />
          </Context>
</Host>
Good luck!

Re: Using already running Tomcat server for development.

Hi Nick,
Yes, you can use existing Tomcat Server for debugging app developed with
NitroX. And you can refer to Help > Help Contents > NitroX User Guide >
NitroX Tour > Running and debugging the application.
We do support Tomcat 4.0.x to Tomcat 5.0.x. If you need any further
assistance please get back to us.

files to compile and re-deploy my apps into the running tomcat server.
Just wondering if I can do something similar thru NitroX and Eclipse.
Forgive me if I am missing something obvious, but I am new to eclipse.

Still problem in TOMCAT(server.xml)

hiiiiiii
I tried all suggestion......At end, now when I execute %startTomcat% from DOS prompt......DOS windows opens and closes...... Somebody told me that it was error in my server.xml file in conf......
PLZ tell me how alter this file or add new stuff.....

Hi Amar,
It was me who suggested the following steps
Follow these steps:
Download Java SDK 1.3 or 1.4
Download tomcat 4.x or 5.x
set the following variables from dos prompt
set JAVA_HOME = path to your java sdk folder
set CATALINA_HOME = path to tomcat folder
set startTomcat = %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup
set stopTomcat =%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\shutdown
now at dos prompt
type %startTomcat% , it should opena nother window which displays the status of tomcat server.
In the browser type http://localhost:8080/ (for tomcat 4.x) or http://localhost:8084 (for tomcat5.x) it should open up the index page of the server.
at your post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=33&thread=542123
First I suggest thta you donot repost same question, it wont help and next be clear what is the problem if possible post the error that might to provide you the solution.

Problem with Tomcat server

Hi,
I'm just writing to inform you about a problem with the Oracle 9i database I found out.
I have downloaded and installed the release 2 enterprise/standard/personal edition for Windows NT/2000/XP.
After doing that I could not start my Tomcat server any more. Although I have tested the situation with many different releases of the Apache Tomcat server it did not work.
Then I've deleted the Oracle database and just installed the client release. And now it works!
I'd be grateful if one of you could tell me what's the problem and how I can solve it.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Steffi

Problems running tomcat on win XP

Hi!
I've just downloaded and installed the JWSDP on Windows XP Professional, but when I try to use Tomcat it starts but then terminates instantly. Can anyone help me with this?
thanks, Ylva

Are you sure its terminating? You will not get an open window when you run tomcat, just a minimised toolbar window.
If it is definitely terminating, have a look at the log file to see what error (if any) is produced - JWSDP_HOME\logs\catalina.out
Also make sure that you are not running any other application which might be using port 8080.

Problems with Tomcat Server : Does not respond (Sometimes) - Plz Need Help

I have a web application running on Tomcat 4.1.31. (SUN/Solaris)
Clients access through iPlanet Web Proxy (SUN/Solaris).
Theres a class that build a generic form (it return html codes) then it's affected in the JSP page :
MyClass class = new MyClass();
<%= class.getHtmlCode() %>
the size of the form is variable (100Ko to 1,5Mo)
When i m using the proxy, sometimes the server does not respond when he do the affectation <%= class.getHtmlCode() %>.
If i call the page without proxy it work.
The problem seem not depending of the size of the form. Without proxy it always work. And with proxy sometimes the server does not work.
Please need help

I watch the top of the screen where the Timeout counts down and eventually gives this error.

This happens on every machine i have tested. If i hold down the Ctrl+Alt keys, then the imaging menu appears, i can select maintenance and the client will pull down the initrd, etc.. fine.
if i disable the IPHelper, move the client to the same VLAN as the server, then the whole process works perfectly.
not sure where to go from here.
help please ;)

Hi Leon,
If you are getting the ZENworks menu when holding down the Ctrl-Alt keys, PXE/PDHCP seems to be doing the right thing. Routing issues also don't seem the case as you can pull down the first PXE boot files....
The server running PXE, I assume it also runs the TFTP and Imaging services?
These services are also running a recent version of Zen 7 (IR3/IR4)? A little more info on these components and what server they are on would be good :)

Sorry, I've never done this. I went to the Tomcat site and pulled down the CGI docs, which you might have seen:

Problem running DAC Server as Service on Windows

I have used JavaService to setup the DAC server as a service on my Windows 2003 server. It seems to install and then start fine. The DAC client sees the server as running. But as soon as I try to execute an ETL the run fails immediately with " Unable to ping :'srn_integration_service', that being the name of my Informatica server as defined. I can then shutdown the service, start the server using the BAT file and the ETL runs as expected. I am creating the JavaService command line with the following BAT file which uses the same configuration as the startserver BAT file:
cd C:\OracleBi\DAC\bifoundation\dac
call config.bat
javaservice -install "DAC Server Service" "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" -Xms256m -Xmx1024m "-Djava.class.path=%DACCLASSPATH%" "-Duser.dir=%DAC_HOME%" -start com.siebel.etl.net.QServer -current "C:\OracleBI\DAC\bifoundation\dac" -description "Oracle BI DAC Server Service"
The DAC version from the console is "Dac Build AN 10.1.3.4.1.20090415.0146, Build date: April 15 2009"
I know people are doing this successfully so I am probably overlooking something simple (I'm a DAC novice.) Any ideas?

I create the service with this command:
javaservice -install "Oracle BI: DAC Service" "C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_18\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll" -Xms256m -Xmx1024m "-Djava.class.path=C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\ojdbc14.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\DAWSystem.jar;C:\OracleBI\;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\ant-1.6.5.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\antlr-2.7.6.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\ant-antlr-1.6.5.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\asm.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\asm-attrs.jar;c3p0-0.9.0.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\cglib-2.1.3.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\checkstyle-all.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\cleanimports;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\concurrent-1.3.2.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\connector.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\dom4j-1.6.1.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\ehcache-1.2.3.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\hibernate3.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jaas.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jacc-1_0-fr.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\javassist.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jaxen-1.1-beta-7.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jboss-cache.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jboss-common.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jboss-jmx.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jboss-system.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jdbc2_0-stdext.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jgroups-2.2.8.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jta.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\junit-3.8.1.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\log4j-1.2.11.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\proxool-0.8.3.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\versioncheck.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\xerces-2.6.2.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\xml-apis.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\jsr173_api.jar;C:\OracleBI\DAC\lib\sjsxp.jar" "-Duser.dir=C:\OracleBI\DAC" -start com.siebel.etl.net.QServer -description "Oracle BI DAC Server Service"

Problem in installation tomcat server 4.1

Hi everybody,
I am not sure if i have entered the correct forum for highlighting problems of Tomcat server 4.1, but anyway I need an answer.
My system is running on win 98.
I downloaded the zip version from apache.org and created the java_home and catalina_home path in the autoexec.bat.
When I am running the startup.bat file, it gives me some output in one window like :
     using catalina_base=d:\apache\tomcat
     using catalina_home=d:\apache\tomcat
     using catalina_tmpdir=d:\apache\tomcat\temp
     using java_home=c:\jdk1.2
The name of this window is Finished-startup.
After running this bat another window gets fired, with the heading as java, and this window vanishes immediately. I need some ideas as to what should be done.
Just to remind, I have jdk1.2 on my system. Do I have to upgrade to jdk 1.4. Does Tomcat 4.1 need the latest version of jdk.
Thanks n regards,
Sajiv, Chennai, India.

hi,
set java_home to java_home=c:\jdk1.2\ .I had this problem with windows XP, the window loads and vanishes. the '\' has set my problem. you can try.

Hi There,
I have faced the same problem, but later latered the the Settings, and got my Tomcat Running, give a try like the following:
Set TOMCAT_HOME="C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0";
set CLASSPATH="C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar";
After that RESTART the System. Then go to Start-Run--trace the path to "..\Apache Tomcat 4.0\bin\startup.bat" and then press ENTER. Hope this will solve ur Problem.
