I spent too many hours trying to solve my problem. The next step will
be a psychotherapist!
Here is all I did:
Trying to install: Tomcat 4.0 b5
JDK: 1.3.0
OS: Linux 6.1
downloaded: jakarta-tomcat-4.0-b5.zip & jakarta-servletapi-4.0-b5.zip
unzipped both of them
set CATALINA_HOME correctly
set JAVA_HOME correctly
set TOMCAT_HOME to same directory as CATALINA_HOME
put servlet.jar file downloaded in $CATALINA_HOME/lib
executed $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
and here's the important parts of the logfiles I get:
localhost_examples_log.2001-06-15.txt
-----------------------------
2001-06-15 10:30:12 StandardContext[/examples]: Exception starting

If anybody can help, I would appreciate it a lot!
