In the Tomcat bin directory there should be two batch files "startup.bat" and "shutdown.bat" that should work fine unless you are running Tomcat as a service.
If running as a service, use services to stop and start.

What is the proper way of shutting down tomcat? I start it with what I have found in the user guide: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13 /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/bin/jsvc \ -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/common/endorsed \ -cp /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/bin/bootstrap.jar -outfile \ /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/logs/catalina.out -errfile \ /u01/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/logs/catalina.err \ org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap This works fine, but when I kill the process and try to restart, it won't - it complains: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina Why does that happen? And how can I avoid it? 2. On the "front page", when I get the server to run, there is a link to an administration package that I am supposed to download from somewhere. Is there a standard place to find these things? /jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
