I just installed jdk and tomcat on the server of the company i work for. I've configured tomcat,set the classpath properly and everything but when i start up tomcat , the console window just open, does some stuff then stops and close itself. Can someone tell me why it's doing this and how I can fix this problem?

You should look on the Tomcat forum for many recent problems just like this one.

Not sure how to solve your problem, but a good way to debug the start up script is to stop the startup up scripts when an error occurs.
Go into the setclasspath script
comment out exit at the bottom of setclasspath this will keep the dos window open.
use rem exit
and the use echo %JAVA_HOME% to see where its pointing to at the start of the setclasspath file.
This way you can put debug points in.
Hope this helps
Tony

[B]I am using the same tomcat on my own machine and it's working fine but on this server pc, it just doesn't take it.Can't start tomcat. I am so fustrated, I only have two weeks left for my contract to end, I have to have this working by then. I can't make the console window not shut itself.I am sure someone else has maybe ecountered this same problem before.
please help me.

If you have read some of the older posts you will have seen my advice for debugging startup.bat - namely to change the line

to

so that the catalina.bat (which is what %EXECUTABLE% calls) will run in the open window and will not close.

Another way to keep the window open is to open a dos window, cd to the directory where your startup.bat is, and execute the startup script in this directory. You'll see a stack trace.

Ah - but the problem is frequently that unless you change startup.bat like I described, the execution of catalina.bat occurs in a separate window that opens and closes before you can see whats happening.

It works now . The Tomcat default page is showing.
But my own application doesn't . I put my folder under C: and also tried to put it under webapps\root\then my folder. Only the default page is showing but not the other ones. I am having this error now:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null
Generated servlet error:

3 errors


I did put the package Helper in my classpath but I am wondering why it's not seeing it.
Please help
Thanks

"Putting it on the classpath" is not enough. That will do for when you want to compile java files that use your classes. But Tomcat does not use the system classpath.

Place the classes you are importing (in their proper folder heirarchy) into WEB-INF/classes

This is all covered in the Tomcat docs.

there is something wrong somewhere.
My localhost:9080 is not even working anymore now that I've configured tomcat to work with IIS. When I type localhost:9080/mydirectory/myjsp i am having a The requested resource (/CoreData/) is not available. When I simply type localhost:9080 i am having a directory listing, everything I have under webapps/root.
Anyone can tell me what happened.
I used the tutorial on http://virtualict.net/support/kb/ii6-Tomcat5-JK2.html to configure tomcat with IIS. I have iis5 and tomcat 4.
Anyone help please
here

That link doesn't work, but I'm going to take a guess:
ii6 = IIS 6
Tomcat5 (obvious)

If you have IIS5, and Tomcat 4, what made you think those instructions would work?
1) There's been significant changes between Tomcat 4 and 5 for configuration of Contexts.
2) jk connectors typically utilize dll's that have been compiled for certain versions of IIS. Something might have (probably did) change between 5 and 6.

It certainly can't hurt at this point to remove the JK configuration entirely from both IIS and Tomcat, and start over. And the first step, will be to get Tomcat working standalone.

I re-installed tomcat and now the default page on localhost:8089 works. But my own directory doesn't : The requested resource (/CoreData/index.jsp) is not available
And in my tomcat console window I have :
ChannelSocket init INFO: JK2: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I've removed all the configuration I've done on IIS and ininstalled JK2 as well(the connector).

Tomcat won't recognize a directory under webapps as a web application if it does not have a WEB-INF directory and a web.xml file. That might be the reason it is not seeing /CoreData/index.jsp
