Hello, I have ot the same problem like Arif Shaikh but on Linux. jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b5 (bin distribution) cocoon 1.8.2 (bin distribution) After the installation, step by step accurate step by step, non servlet could be startet. Before i install cocoon every works fine. In the installation doc i found the instruction: "...must copy any .jar files from $COCOON_HOME/lib to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib..." But the only way to get tomget work is to delete the cocoon servlet_2_2.jar. Now i can start the old servlets, fine but... If i try to start http://localhost:8080/cocoon/Cocoon.xml the result a the following error: "Unable to open resource: WEB-INF/cocoon.properties" My $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/cocoon/WEB-INF/web.xml looks like: .... <servlet> <servlet-name>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>properties</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/cocoon.properties</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> .... Gritsenko say in his email: "in your web.xml there is a path to your cocoon.properites. since both are in the same dir, the path should reflect this fact." Quit funny, but what does it mean "reflect this fact"? ../cocoon.properties - ERROR /cocoon/WEB-INF/cocoon.properties - ERROR .... I hope there is someone with the same software - _working_. best regards, Ralf Duda --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
