Hi, your server.xml file isn't a well form xml file, so XML parser reports error. It seems no way to place a comment block into a tag. So you should remove <!--WEB_PORT--> tag from server.xml when done.

I think you have to use grep when you shutdown as well in order to remove the WEB_PORT comment. /René -----Original Message----- From: Sarika Inamdar To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23-07-03 11:53 Subject: Help needed in configuring tomcat 4.1.24 Hi All, We need to start tomcat with a user-defined port. To enable the same , in server.xml, we give the following <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" <!-- WEB_PORT -->port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" In our start script, we grep for "WEB_PORT" and replace the default port value with a user-defined port. With this modification, tomcat starts properly. But when I give shutdown.sh command to stop tomcat , I get the following parse exception : bash-2.03# ./shutdown.sh Using CATALINA_BASE: /export/spare/users/sinamdar/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 Using CATALINA_HOME: /export/spare/users/sinamdar/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /export/spare/users/sinamdar/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /export/spare/CSCOPerfE/tools/jdk Jul 23, 2003 3:12:03 PM org.apache.commons.digester.Digester fatalError SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 93 column 5: Element type "Connector" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>". org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "Connector" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>". at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(Unkno wn Source) at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.fatalError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLErrorReporter.reportError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLScanner.reportFatalError(Unknown Source) at org.apache.xerces.impl.XMLDocumentFragmentScannerImpl.scanStartElement(U nknown Source) Is there anyway we can avoid this exception ? Any help in this regard would be useful.
