The # character starts a comment in the shell. Try quoting the pathname, or put a \ in front of the #.
I would bet that your mkdir and cd commands didn't do what you think they did. -----Original Message----- From: Markus Schiegl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2007 1:54 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat and path with pound sign (#) -> ClassNotFoundException Hi there, starting Tomcat from a path containing a pound sign (#) somewhere results in a ClassNotFoundException.

Although there is a rather old but maybe similar bug at: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4231042 i supose somewhere the road this has been fixed, as i have no problems with JAVA 5/6 and other java programs otherwise my tests where flawed. Installing the jdk in such a directory (e.g. /opt/java#6) works with tomcat, too. Can anybody confirm that "#" is still a special character (for tomcat)? Unfortunately i'm somewhat forced to place tomcat installations/ instances into such (with #) directories. Any fix possible? thanks in advance! kind regards, Markus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
