I was going to have really good fun at your expense, but it seems that the nice big bold message that tells you to not use Solaris or Mac/OS tar has gone away :-(.
However, that's the answer: use the GNU gtar instead.

I discovered that the reason for the error is that the servlet is unable to find "org.apache.webapp.admin.ApplicationServlet.class" Turns out the tar file "appears" to contains a lot of very long pathnames which are truncated if they exceed 100 bytes e.g. jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29/server/webapps/admin/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/webapp /admin/ApplicationServle I don't see a tar option that gets around this. Is this just my version of tar that's doing this? Or is it a problem with the tar file? Could someone verify it e.g. "tar tvf jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29.tar" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
