I've looked everywhere in the discussion board and have found no answer to this problem. I start tomcat and get.......
root@DevU:/usr/local/tomcat/bin# ./startup.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/jdk I try to access http://localhost:8080 from the same server and the page doesn't come up. Oddly, when I try to shutdown the server, get this message....... root@DevU:/usr/local/tomcat/bin# ./shutdown.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/jdk Segmentation fault I noticed someone was able to use the debugger to get it to start up correctly. I followed the instructions and it worked! But it showed no errors, why the heck is it not starting using startup.sh? OS: Linux (Slackware 8.0) Tomcat Version: 4.0.3 JDK 1.3.1
