Help!! Error in Tomcat

[Niyas Ahmed Sheikh]

Hi,

I am using Windows 2000. I want to install the tomcat 5.0. For that I used the below URL, where there ia zip file in which tomcat is already preconfigured. Since I can't install the tomcat newly, due to admin restriction, I downloaded the zip file and unziped it and placed the jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9 folder under E:\Mark

URL where I downloaded the tomcat preconfigured zip file:
URL

The unzipped file has everything, including the bat file for PATH, classpath and JAVA_HOME.

I had set all the things coorectly matching my system directories:

In the bat file, I am having the following:

set PATH=E:\Mark\j2sdk1.5.0_04\bin;%PATH%
set JAVA_HOME=E:\Mark\j2sdk1.5.0_04;
set CLASSPATH=.;E:\Mark\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;E:\Mark\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;E:\Mark\Servlets+JSP;..;..\..;C:\jakarta-struts-1.2.4\lib\struts.jar

But, while I had tried to start the tomcat thru startup.bat in the ms-dos, I encounter with the following error message:

The JAVA_HOME enviornment variable is not defined correctly.
This enviornmrnt variable is needed to run this program.
NB: The JAVA_HOME needs to be set to JDK, not to JRE.
Using CATALINA_BASE: E:\Mark\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9
Using CATALINA_HOME: E:\Mark\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9
Using CATALINA_TEMP: E:\Mark\jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: E:\Mark\j2sdk1.5.0_04

And also the following error message in the alert message box:

Cannot find the file 'Djavautil.logging.manager=org.apache.jutil.ClassLoaderLogManager'(or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that are required libraries are available

'Djavautil.logging.manager=org.apache.jutil.ClassLoaderLogManager'

You seem to be missing a "-" sign in front of the "D", and it probably needs to read "java.util", not "javautil".

As to JAVA_HOME, what is the semicolon doing at its end? That is bound to cause trouble. Or maybe not, looking at the Tomcat output.

No, I tried both the option with semicolon and without at the end of the JAVA_HOME.

The same error is encountering.

Yes, It's typorgraphical error:
The correct one:'-Djava.util.logging.manager = org.apache.jutil.ClassLoaderLogManager'

Try setting JAVA_HOME as a permanent system environment variable rather than relying on the bat file. As I recall you use ControlPanel dialog -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables.

Hi,

Try setting JAVA_HOME as a permanent system environment variable rather than relying on the bat file. As I recall you use ControlPanel dialog -> System -> Advanced -> Environment variables.

By doing this, It will have any impact on the system. In the environment variables >> New >> variable name = Path and variable path = E:\Mark\jdk1.5

That's it. Any other thing we have to add(even ; and ").
Why I am worrying so much is, I don't want to take risk in my workstation.

Wait:

set JAVA_HOME=E:\Mark\j2sdk1.5.0_04;

This doesn't look quite right.

Java 5.0 is usually in a folder called jdk1.5.0 (not j2sdk)
Try typing:
CD %JAVA_HOME% and see what directory you end up in.

Better, type:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac
and see if the system can find the java compiler.

If not, you've misspelt the path.
