Hello, I am a newbie at configuring web servers and have been struggling recently to get a JSP server up and running. I started from scratch by installing windows server 2003 on my machine, then I proceeded to install MySQL, so as to avoid having it conflict with other services for ports if installed at a later time. MySQL installed without a problem and is working beautifully as a service. Then, I installed the JDK followed by Apache server, both of which also worked fine and there is no problem (so far) on that end. Tomcat, however, gets installed but does not start as a service and when I look at the jakarta logs I find this message:
[443 javajni.c] [error] FindClass org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap failed [2008-04-08 11:59:11] [997 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed loading main org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap class C:\tomcat\Tomcat6\bin\bootstrap.jar The ironic thing here is that, in previous attempts to get the server up, I did SDK -> Apache -> Tomcat -> JK connector -> MySQL... For wich I had Tomcat working without any problem and MySQL not wanting to run at all. Is there any connection? Does anyone know of a possible solution to this error? Any help is greatly appreciated! -BeasC -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Tomcat-does-not-start-as-a-service-in-a-brand-new-installation-tp16578247p16578247.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
