Problem while starting Tomcat 4.1

Hi,

I installed Tomcat 4.1 (unzipping) and using jdk 1.4. I set all necessary environment variables. Whenever I say "catalina run" to start tomcat the following exception is coming up. I am really upset because of this as I am doing important application development.

Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_FLT_STACK_CHECK (0xc0000092) occurred at PC=0xC1D052
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=(N/A)

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
reason and solutions.

Can somebody suggest me an advice on this?

hi,

just wondering if there are specific reasons to use tomcat 4.x? maybe your important application would benefit from migrating / developing it on tomcat 5.5?

might be worth giving it a try,

regards,
jan

Hi Jan Groth,

Thanks for the reply. I am sure that the problem is NOT because of Tomcat version, the problem is environmental. I would like to know if anybody fixed/benefited from it (I know lot of people faced same problem).

I am still waiting for more responses.

Thanks,
Surya.

This doesn't tell us much.
Which ones did you set?
What values did you give to them?
How did you test that they're set correctly?
Why not paste the values in your post so we can verify that they're set correctly?
See:

for help with this.

Why aren't you using the startup script in tomcat/bin directory (startup.sh or startup.bat)?

I think Jan's point, which is a good one, is that you're going to be able to get a lot more help if you use a more recent version of Tomcat. Most of the old timers have left Tomcat 4x years ago and a lot of the knowledgeable new comers have never worked with it.

How do you know this?

Hi Ben Souther,

- After installing Tomcat 4.1, it ran for a week, after one day, suddenly I started getting the error I mentioned above. So, there is no mistake I did in configuration.

- The reason for not using startup.bat is, when I say startup from the command prompt, a new window is getting displayed and closed immediately, so I was not able to see the error for the first time. Then to see the actual error I used catalina run which starts tomcat in current window, so that I can see the error.

- Using 4.1 version is the recommendation from our client, they are insisting on that, I don't know why

-Surya,

I know lot of people faced this problem, because I googled it

Most people were NOT facing the problem while working with Tomcat, but they are getting the same exception with other applications (JDBC, Weblogic etc).

Have you checked the Tomcat log files?
Under {tomcat install}/logs.

The log directory under the Tomcat installation does not creating any log files. Everytime when I do fresh install (unzipping) of Tomcat, it is working fine for few days, and then the same problem arising.

I remeber, this problem was started when I installed Netbeans IDE 5.0 which I got for free from Netbeans web site. Is there any possibility that, netbeans eating up my JVM memory? I tried uninstalling netbeans also, still problem is there.

Can anybody help me on this?
