Hi there, I Installed Tomcat 4.0 (my professor recommended this older version) on my Win 2000 box. j2sdk1.4.0_01, j2sdkee1.2.1. Before installing Tomcat, I changed my Oracle XDB port to use 8083 instead of 8080; IIS is also installed and uses port 80. I have Norton Internet Security (yes, it makes my life difficult) but it's disabled right now. My conf XML files and BAT files should be more or less out-of-the-box.
Don't know which errors are most important so I'll throw them all out there. I Googled on all of them, but could find no solution, even though I know this question and variants has been asked many times. Please go easy on this Java newbie. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. My Catalina DOS window that comes up when I invoke startup shows: Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 Starting service Tomcat-Apache Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 ... I have a feeling it should say more than that, but as a newbie I have no idea. When I go to http://localhost:8080/ I get an error "HTTP Status 500 - No Context configured to process this request" When I go to http://localhost:8080/examples/ I get an error "The requested resource (/examples) is not available." My apache log in the tomcats logs folder says: 2005-04-28 23:09:29 [org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector] Error accepting requests java.net.SocketException: socket closed at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:343) at java.net.ServerSocket.implAccept(ServerSocket.java:438) at java.net.ServerSocket.accept(ServerSocket.java:409) at org.apache.catalina.connector.warp.WarpConnector.run(WarpConnector.java:580) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) Catalina log says: 2005-04-28 23:29:53 HttpProcessor[8080][4] process.invoke java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.status(ErrorDispatcherValve.java:280) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorDispatcherValve.invoke(ErrorDispatcherValve.java:180) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:170) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke(AccessLogValve.java:462) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:472) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:943) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:163) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invokeNext(StandardPipeline.java:566) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:472) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:943) at org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpProcessor.process(HttpProcessor.java:1011) at org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpProcessor.run(HttpProcessor.java:1106) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536) Localhost log is saying something different now than half an hour ago---I think all I did in between was stop IIS even though it's on another port: 2005-04-28 23:09:39 StandardContext[/manager]: Error initializing resources: Document base C:\tomcat4\webapps\manager does not exist or is not a readable directory 2005-04-28 23:09:39 StandardContext[/manager]: Context startup failed due to previous errors 2005-04-28 23:09:39 StandardContext[/manager]: Exception during cleanup after start failed LifecycleException: Container StandardContext[/manager] has not been started at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.stop(ContainerBase.java:1147) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.stop(StandardContext.java:3440) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3397) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1123) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.start(StandardHost.java:612) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.start(ContainerBase.java:1123) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine.start(StandardEngine.java:307) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(StandardService.java:388) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.start(StandardServer.java:505) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:776) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:681) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:179) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:243) 2005-04-28 23:33:01 StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI -- Michelle Kinsey Bruns --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
