Hello, everyone - This is my first post. I am pretty much new to web development (not really much of a Java expert either) and am just starting to play with Tomcat. I've having problems just getting it to start and I know it must be a config problem, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I've searched the archives and haven't found a recent post that described a similar problem.
My environment: Win2K, IBM JDK1.3.1, Tomcat 4.0.4 (trying to bring it up standalone) Whenever I try to start Tomcat using startup.bat, I receive the exception and stack trace that's at the bottom of this note. I found some posts that referenced a "ZipException: Permission denied" problem that was caused by duplicate jars - could this be another symptom of the same problem? If so, what exactly is the search path that Tomcat uses for jars? I noticed that CLASSPATH is set by setclasspath.bat to be %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar. I have tried both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4, both unzipping by hand and using the installable image, but with no difference. Any help is greatly appreciated!
