Re: error starting tomcat

[Werner van Mook]

Nope does not work.
Somehow it seems to delete the newly created file.
I've also tried to make the normal tomcat-user.xml file tomcat5 
accessable.
It changes it back to root : root Don't when, dont' know why....

Have you tried copying conf/tomcat-users.xml to
conf/tomcat-users.xml.new to see if that fixes the problem?  The log
seems pretty straightforward. If creating the desired file fixes 
things,
then you can just grep for "conf/tomcat-users.xml.new" to find the
configuration issue.

It is not complaining about the port number.
I've seen the error if your not root. It's not the same. Starting 
tomcat
manual as root gives me the same error.

Sorry wrong answer ;-)

You need to be root when you start tomcat in order to bind to port 80
(or any
port < 1024).  The jsvc will then lower it's user status to
tomcat_user ( or
whatever user you have configured).

Hi,

I have the standard server.xml file. But then removed lots of the
comments. User authentication is defined as :
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
               type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
        description="User database that can be updated and saved">

     </ResourceParams>
      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
                  debug="0" resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
I don't know where :  /usr/local/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml.new  is

defined.
I'm using redhat fedore core 1,  java 1.4.2_04
the tomcat-users.xml file is owned by root : root
Tomcat is started at boot time by using jsvc where the tomcat user is

tomcat5.
Can one of you tell me what's wrong?
