Tomcat Trouble

Hi folks,
I hope this is the right forum for this discussion -- if you, I'll be happy if people point me in the right direction.
So:
I've got a question regarding running Tomcat 4.0.6 as an NT service. During the install, I answered 'yes' when asked if I wanted to set up Tomcat as a service. Seemed to work great. After dropping in two webapps, one works fine, the other does not. It looks very much like a Classpath issue, like the Tomcat server simply doesn't know where to find the classes in the second webapp.
Is there some way to determine what the classpath of the service version of a 4.0.6 Tomcat server is? I'm not seeing the wrapper.properties files people reference when talking about earlier versions of Tomcat.
I uninstalled the service, and am now unable to add it back again. Here are a couple of things I've tried, based on what I could find on the web (I found the Jakara docs sorely lacking):
tomcat.exe -install "%SERVICENAME%" "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" -jvm_option -Djava.class.path=%JAVACLASSPATH% -jvm_option -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%" -start org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -jvm_option -Xms128M -jvm_option -Xmx256M -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.BootstrapService -params stop -out "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stdout.log" -err "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log"
No dice. Unable to create service.
Deciding to try and go the bare-bones route, I also tried this:
D:\ApacheTomcat4.0.6\bin>tomcat -install "Tomcat" d:\jdk1.3.1_06\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll -start org.apac
he.catalina.startup.BootstrapService
This told me the service was created, but when I try to start it, wham, no luck. "Could not start the Tomcat service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error. If the problem persists, contact your system administrator."
Anyone have any advice for me? My apologies if I'm missing something obvious.

Did you remove all references to TOMCAT from the registry before you reinstalled? I had similar experience and corrected by removing all references to TOMCAT from registry before reinstallation.
TOMCAT 1st looks at your classpath.

Trouble upgrading from tomcat 3.1 to 4.1

Hi,
I have this jsp application running fine with Tomcat 3.1 under W2K and i'm now having trouble having them run on Tomcat 4.1 on the same PC.
Basically i just renamed the Tomcat 3.1 directory, installed Tomcat 4.1, modified the server.xml file to let it know my application context. which means i did not change any environment variables.
I get this message when trying to run my application:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Impossible de compiler la classe pour JSP
E:\tomcat\work\localhost\MPREPORT\Bcplogon$jsp.java:5: Class or interface declaration expected.

2 errors
Any hints welcome.
Christophe

yes the samples are running OK. I just don't see why i have compile problems since i did not modify the Classpath and JDK setup.
Also this 'import javax.servlet.*;' that can be seen in the error message: i use some import in my code, but not this one. Could that lead to some explanations ?

Trouble to access one website (HTTP Status 500) and to find Apache Tomcat/6.0.20 logs

Hi to you all!
It is impossible for me to access one website only for a couple of days, the Yell.com UK phone directory. I asked them to help me with this trouble, but one of the technicians answered «I have had no problems in accessing Yell.com online here and neither have my colleagues. There may have been a temporary bug with the system, but all is fine now. If you are still experiencing problems, I would suggest that it is an issue with your system.»
It does not help because the trouble persists, whatever the solution I tried to find (clearing history and cache, bookmarking anew, changing slightly the URL). When trying to access to their website, it says:
«HTTP Status 500 -
«type Exception report
«message
«description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
«exception
«… (Here are 13 lines about javax.servlet, com.yell.ucs.responder, org.apache.struts.action and 50 lines under achapter titled “root cause”) — then:
«note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.20 logs.
«Apache Tomcat/6.0.20»
QUESTIONS —
1. I have access without any problem to Yell.com with the Safari (after having selected “Safari browser”), but there is no result with Firefox with the Safari browser! How is this possible?
2. I don't understand anything about what the “Apache Tomcat/6.0.20” - Error report means…
3. What and where can I find the “Apache Tomcat/6.0.20 logs” on a Mac OS X 10.4 and how can this be solved?
Many thanks forward for your help (please use ordinary words, I don't understand anything about computer and Web things).
Cordially
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.yell.com/

Now, some goblin somewhere put things right and this Yell.com works again, ''without doing anything''… Hope it'll keep on going like this!

i tried to add JAVA_HOME to the catalina.bat file (tomcat 4.0.3), but i get this exact error
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
Using CATALINA_BASE: ..

i don't know why i'm getting the first two lines or the last one....
i defined JAVA_HOME by putting the following near the top of the catalina.bat file

Hi,
You will get this error, if tomcat could not find the JDK installation path at the time of startup. For that, you need to put your "JAVA_HOME" path in \bin\tomcat.bat file, which will point to your JDK installation path. Then, it should start without any problem.
In Windows NT, right click mycomputer->Properties->Advance->Environment Variable and add the JAVA_HOME to user defined variable and point that variable to the path.
To test if the servlet engine is working properly open a browser, and type http://localhost:8080

did you edit the catalina.bat file in Tomcat?
It requires that you do so...I don't think by default it will have your JDK that resides on your machine.
I've edited various versions of Tomcat and the catalina.bat, server.xml and web.xml files before, and usually I've just about always had to add a line (SET JAVA_HOME) and then the variable %JAVA_HOME% will read it.

Trouble running JSP project on Tomcat

When running a JSP application on Apache Tomcat 4.1.18 ( Java 1.4.2 ) an "Out of Memory" error keeps occurring. The error seems to appear during stress times, indicating that the 256 heap size is all occupied. Tomcat runs Java with 256 MB in heap with the "-Xmx256m" parameter at startup. Raising the heap to 512MB did not help so the heap is not to blame. Maximum session connections, maxProcessors for port 8080, are above stress time connected sessions so they are not causing the error. Database connections are closed on each page and the connection pool has also been raised. There's no pattern in the logs indicating that the code is to blame since the "Out of Memory" error occurs at random places.
To make things worse sometimes the computer freezes without any error thrown and sometimes must be rebooted when restarting the tomcat wont do. Sometimes the server starts but no respond on the JSP pages. To top that it has happened that Tomcat seems to start just fine, but when taking a closer look into the log he dosn't seem to be running, but the JSP pages are happily working. The log file on the other hand stated that Tomcat was no running:

Anyone have any good ideas?
Is there a chance that the computer is out of memory and can't fill the heap memory since I don't set the Xms parameter?
Could restarting the Tomcat result in a new process that finds the old sessions in the computer memory and keeps on hanging on to them until timeout?

sounds to me like your network adapter/driver is seriously screwy.
I see a really nasty "address already in use" exception. That means that something is still hogging that port, which indicates that tomcat could not cleanly stop itself. One prime suspect when this happens is a non-daemon thread that is still running somewhere. When this happens, Tomcat will wait forever till this thread closes down.
Hope that helps somehow.

Trouble deploying application in Tomcat!

When I try to open the deployed application in the TomCat webserver, it throws a HTTP 404 error!
However, the same application is working fine in NetBeans, which has a bundled TomCat server!
Where am I going wrong? The applications that come with Tomcat are working fine, but no matter whatever appl I deploy, it isnt working!

First, thanks for the suggestions Nick! And I have tried each of these steps you mentioned!
1) Check your app is deployed and running in Tomcat Web Application Manager. -- YES, IT IS! I CAN SEE THE APPLICATION, RELOAD IT, STOP IT, ETC!
2) If not deployed, check log file in logs\stdout.log to find out why it didn't deploy. (How are you deploying? Copying the war file across to \webapps?) - I TRIED DEPLOYING THE WAR FILE, THEN I DEPLOYED AN APPL CREATING THE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE, ETC! STILL NO LUCK!
3) Make sure you're definitely hitting the correct URL (including the context path, which should also be shown in Web Application Manager) - OF COURSE I AM; EVERY APPL I DEPLOY RETURNS 404! THE NATIVE APPLICATIONS HOWEVER WORK FINE
4) Can you deploy and run any apps in your standalone Tomcat instance? - I DIDNT GET THIS BUT AN APPL WHICH WORKS PERFECTLY FINE IN NETBEANS, ISNT WORKING IN THE STANDALONE TOMCAT!
5) Try deploying a really simple app to see if that works. - DID & FAILED!

Trouble with running tomcat/eclipse

I am using eclipse/tomcat. Every time I run tomcat inside eclipse it shows me that war deployed but it doesn't. I have to manually copy it under webapp. I have appropriate login

eclipse is inteligent enough to do the work for you.

Trouble with my tomcat?

I got a jwsdp1.1 packet,installed and run startup, it ran properly.
But after adding a new statement(<Context path="/wygweb" docsBas="wygweb"> ) in the file server.xml, and then,tomcat can't run . why??
My friends, can you help me? for the tomcat configuration for jsp-servlet.

I got a jwsdp1.1 packet,installed and run startup,
, it ran properly.
<Context path="/wygweb" docsBas="wygweb"> Is that a typo or not? Do you have </Context> close statement?
Try using <Context path="/wygweb" docBase="wygweb" />
Or
First, delete what you added in server.xml, then restart tomcat.
If it is work, try add new context in server.xml:
<Context path="/wygweb" docBase="wygweb" crossContext="false" degug="0" reloadable="true" >
</Context>
xml is case sensitive. You need match it with your example context code.
After save the file, you must restart tomcat.
Hope this helps.

Trouble starting up Tomcat

empty

Michael,
The balancer web app that comes with tomcat is a software load balancer that
is deployed automatically by default and that is not definitely not needed
or required. You can disable it by removing the balancer.xml file from
D:\devtools\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.24\conf\Catalina\localhost.

Trouble running tomcat

Hi,
I have, up until now, been running tomcat 5.xx without any problems, however, when I tried to run it recently, my system returned an error:
" The system cannot find the file -Djava .endorsed.dirs=."
I was hoping someone out there might know what the problem may be.
Thanks

Did you modify any of your startup scripts in the bin directory or did you recently try to change any environment variables related to Tomcat such as JAVA_OPTS, CATALINA_OPTS and several others?
This really sounds like your batch or shell file (you don't mention the O/S) isn't working the way you want. This could be because of environment variables or it could be that the script has been modified.

this sees to be your classpath or jdk version problem. try to update your jdk to jdk1.4.2 and pay attention to the log4j version.

Trouble installing Tomcat.

Hello I have downloaded [jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1] and have jdk1.3 installed in c:\jdk1.3\
When I install Tomcat it tells me I do not have a java development kit and advises me to download one.
My autoexec file is as follows:
(I haven't needed to add any classpaths as I use a IDE that knows where the complier is).
@echo off
path c:\windows;c:\windows\COMMAND
SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
set java_home=c:\jdk1.3
Could someone please tell me what is going wrong and edit my autoexec file with the correct path and repost it?
Thanks in advance,
Michael De Vorms

Hi,
I hope my answer will fit your configuration, as I'm using W2K, so no autoexec here...
I don't even have the JAVA_HOME defined in the environment variables, but I had to modify two Tomcat batch files, as follows:
1. In Catalina.bat, I had to modify the entry
SET JAVA_HOME=<java home>
to fit my installation. In your case, you should put:
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3
2. In Startup.bat, I modified the entry
SET CATALINAHOME=<tomcat home>
where <tomcat home> is the home path for your Tomcat installation.
One more thing: I suggest you to define the CLASSPATH in your environment (if you use other classes than those in JDK 1.3), as Tomcat does not access the information your IDE has.
Regards and good luck,
Adrian

Trouble with tomcat

Hi every one
i am making a servlet that manages html pages byitself rather than using jsp. i use out.println("") to send html commands. i run it in tomcat but every time i make some changes in my code and recompile it...i have to restart tomcat for the changes to show up. is there any way i can just click refresh and the changes will be shown?
Thx

you need the setting in Web.xml or some other file--

and make relodable=true for your context.The file is server.xml usually found in <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf. You need to find the context element for your app, and set readloable=true as an attribute.
Setting reloadable=true causes the timestamps on your files to be monitored, reloading if anything changes.
