Sorry, I didn't mention that I installed Tomcat 5.5.20 on Windows XP in both cases. Thanks and regards, Remik

This will be a problem. You can verify this by running "grep tomcat5 /etc/passwd" and seeing what the shell for the tomcat5 user is set to - it will be the last field. Can you tell me how you installed tomcat? 2) You are starting tomcat as root (when you use the sudo command), so you should also verify the java version the same way. It looks to me like you may have gcj as your default java as root, but Sun Java 1.6 as user "tpotter". If so, I'd suggest removing gcj entirely, and just using the Sun JDK. The reason I think you are using gcj is due to all the error messages that refer to things in "/usr/bin". It may be necessary to set JAVA_HOME and PATH to include JAVA_HOME/bin for root - happy to provide advice on doing this if you need it. Fedora/Redhat is a great platform for running tomcat - just need to get the installation right, and I'm happy to help you with this.
