Hiya Ken,
Have you set the TOMCAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables? The error
you're getting seems to be that the server's jar file isn't in the CLASSPATH
(which Tomcat sets for you). I can only think that you've improperly set
TOMCAT_HOME.
when you do "set | grep TOMCAT_HOME" you should get something like this:
TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat
where that is the root of your tomcat installation. Make sure that's set
correctly and let us know what happens...
