I wonder - can you verify that conf/catalina.properties file can be read with a simple Java program? Essentially Tomcat does the following: in org/apache/catalina/startup/CatalinaProperties.java File home = new File(getCatalinaBase()); File conf = new File(home, "conf"); File propsFile = new File(conf, "catalina.properties"); InputStream is = new FileInputStream(propsFile); Properties properties = new Properties(); properties.load(is); Then if you print out the value of properties.get("common.loader") it shall be non-empty. I think that Tomcat can read the file (otherwise you would have seen an exception of a "Failed to load catalina.properties" warning), but maybe it has trouble parsing it as a "properties" file. Maybe the whole contents is interpreted as one line and provides no value for "common.loader". The *.loader properties are allowed to be empty, so there will be no warning if one is missing.
