Right question, then. Look for something like a SAXParseException, ConnectException, or something similar in the standard error log. If it's still having problems locating the DTD, try using a URL like http://localhost/<Context_Root>/DTD/struts-config_1_1.dtd and setting the action servlet to not load on startup.
