Good to be on the list. I'm having a wierd problem. A fresh install of TC5 worked fine. I manually removed some wars and xml files from webapps to test a clean deployment. Destroyed conf/Catalina too for good measure, as well as work/my_project and temp. We are deploying on dev boxes by copying wars into webapps/ FYI. Upon restart several things occured: ---- 1 conf/Catalina/localhost/ is empty. Normally this populates with server.xml fragments for each project. 2 catalina.out (attached) reports SEVERE: Error filterStart Jan 29, 2004 7:59:50 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors ... 3 catalina.DATE.log (attached) reports StandardContext[/balancer]Exception starting filter BalancerFilter java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester ... 4 None of my projects want to load - war deployment doesn't seem to work. ---- Nothing in server/lib has changed, and commons-digester.jar is there as always. I have not modified startup.sh or shutdown.sh in any way. Obviously I've done something wrong. Thanks for any advice on how to correct this. (I saw another related post in the archive but that never seemed to come to a conclusion). (BTW, is there an easy way to get TC runtime info in file form? The only way I know to get runtime info is from the Manager app, and that seems like rather a lot of work to get info that is darn useful in a forum like this.)
