I had to reinstall Tomcat yesterday after my HD got hosed! Stupid #$%^
hard drive!
But anyway, installed it the easy way...
1) Downloaded and installed java SDK from Sun at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3.1/ (using the installer program)
2) Added java bin location to my PATH (in my case is was E:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin)
3) Downloaded and installed Tomcat 4.0 from... ah you know where. (also
using the installer program)
And that's all ... Tomcat ran right out of the box.
BTW I did not install Tomcat as a service and do not have any other
variables set such as CLASSPATH or JAVA_HOME etc. In fact my box is clean
because I had to reinstall Win2K. Stupid #$%^ hard drive! You would think
I would learn to do backups.
Your problems are probably in your CLASSPATH. Try removing it and doing a
fresh install of SDK and then Tomcat.
Also, if you are using other XML parsers they can cause problems with
Tomcat. Try seaching the list for xerces (I remember seeing something about
this).

I pretty much have the same setup as yours- Jdk1.3,
CATALINA_HOME, JAVA_HOME etc. I also had removed jsdk
etc. But it does not work for me.
I have other baggage- jaxp, xerces, xalan etc etc. I
do not know if they inerefere or what is the problem?
That is why I have provided my System classpath- if
any body can notice anything suspicious.
TIA

Sanjay,
Its pretty easy..I did all this just yesterday.
Downloaded 4.01.
Cleand my machine of the jdk and jsdk and all that
stuff.
Cleaned the classpath, JAVA_HOME variables.
installed jdk1.3 ( previously i was on 1.2.2 )
unzipped tomcat's zip and put it on c:
set java_home to c:\jdk1.3
set catalina_home to C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 (
tomcat dir )
turned off pws and my previous servlet container
opened cmd prompt and gave the command
%catalina_home%/bin/startup
and bingo!! it worked. all the examples are working
absolutely fine.
also, tried putting the snoop servlet in a jar and
tested it. created
mywebapp and put the snoop servlet jar and tested
it. once i was comfy
with the way tomcat handles jars,etc, i deployed my
application and its
working flawlessly.
The only thing now i am trying to do is redirect the
stderr which is
appearing on the cmd prompt to some file. tomcat is
putting all my logging
directly on the cmd prompt.
but overall, its pretty easy. i got started much
quickly than i thought i
would . just follow the steps mentioned in the
documentation religiously and
it should most probably work.
u wont need anything extra to run the examples,
atleast.
try once more and let me know if u face any specific
problems.
luck

Subject: Installing/Running Tomact
Hi,
I can not seem to be able to run Tomact. I have
tried
Tomact_3_2, Tomact_3_3, Tomact_4_01.nothing works.
Is
it really so difficult?
On : 3_2 I used to get the sealing violation
error- I
tried the various sugestions on the site- nothing
worked.
On 3_3 I can not even grab the error msg.
On 4_01 I get an error- I can not grab the error
msg-
My system classpath is:
CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk1.3\lib\rt.jar;c:\xerces\xerces.jar;c:\soap\lib\soap.jar;c
:\xml\jaxp.jar;c:\xml\parser.jar;c:\xml\xalan.jar;c:\wstk\uddi4j\lib\uddi4j.
jar;c:\wstk\wsdli4j\lib\wsdl4j.jar;c:\wstk\lib\wstk.jar;c:\wstk\lib\xss4j.ja
r;c:\wstk\soap\lib\mail.jar;c:\wstk\soap\lib\activation.jar;c:\webservices\c
lasses;c:\jsse\lib\jcert.jar;c:\jsse\lib\jnet.jar;c:\jsse\lib\jsse.jar;c:\ax
is\lib\axis.jar;
do we need all the xml parser files- I have jaxp,
parser, xalan, xerces? I g\have tried adding and
removing files and cahnging the order etc- Nothing
seems to work.
I am on win98, jdk1.3
Thanks a lot guys,
Sanjay
