RE: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh
Hey Kennice, Coincidentally, the C-man just sent out an email about them to the dev list: You can tell Tomcat to start with this variable, without modifying the startup scripts, by setting TOMCAT_OPTS (Tomcat 3.x) or CATALINA_OPTS (Tomcat 4.x) to the set of options you want to pass to the JVM. For instance, you can run with the -server switch and set max heap size to 128 megabytes with: CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Xmx=128m" or TOMCAT_OPTS="-server -Xmx=128m" Craig - r > -Original Message- > From: Kennice Low [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2001 10:31 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh > > > Hi Rob, > Can you enlightened me on TOMCAT_OPTS :-?

RE: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh
Hi Kennice, Unsetting your CLASSPATH before starting Tomcat is a good idea. You really shouldn't need to bother with the startup and shutdown scripts. If you want to mess with the Java command line used to start Tomcat, you can export TOMCAT_OPTS to those options. - r > Hi Rob and Larry, > Thank you for yours advice.

RE: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh
Hi Rob and Larry, Thank you for yours advice. Your are right, I shouldn't set tomcat-internal-related and the webapps. I have remove the unnecessary setting on CLASSPATH and the jsp and servlet work fine. But, the message still displayed when I shutdown and startup tomcat : Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/shell/Startup 1) Do you have any ideals ? I suspect one of the servlet or xml file is looking for the directory org/apache/tomcat/shell/Startup, but the directory is not there. 2) Forgot to mention the jsp and servlet work fine all the time. The only thing is I would like to learn more who does the startup and shutdown work. 3) Back to the 1st mail, do your have any ideal what is $BASEDIR. best regards, Kennice Rob wrote on 17/8/01 : >There should be nothing tomcat-internal-related in your CLASSPATH. >Tomcat >sets the CLASSPATH for you, by automatically adding all of the jars from >your $TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory to your CLASSPATH.

Hi Kennice, $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes shouldn't be in your CLASSPATH since it is part of a web application.

RE: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh
Hiya Ken, Have you set the TOMCAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables? The error you're getting seems to be that the server's jar file isn't in the CLASSPATH (which Tomcat sets for you). I can only think that you've improperly set TOMCAT_HOME. when you do "set | grep TOMCAT_HOME" you should get something like this: TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat where that is the root of your tomcat installation. Make sure that's set correctly and let us know what happens... - r > -Original Message- > From: Kennice Low [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 5:33 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: More understanding on startup.sh and shutdown.sh > > > Hi, > > I am using Linux o/s.
