tomcat startup problem


Hi

When I try start tomcat the output is :

Code:
./startup.sh 
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /etc/apps/tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /etc/apps/tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /etc/apps/tomcat/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11/
However going to http://localhost:8080 shows a page cant be found error.

The log file shows :

Code:
cat catalina.out 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
I have no idea how to fix this problem after extensive "Googling", can someone help please?

The output of java -version shows :

Code:
java -version
java version "1.4.2-02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
Thankyou in advance

I'm no expert on tomcat, I'm just guessing here, but maybe check that your CLASSPATH environment variable is setup correctly, sounds like it's looking for a tomcat specific class, perhaps you have to setup your CLASSPATH to include some of tomcat's JARS?

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

James.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

My $CLASSPATH at the moment is :

Code:
echo $CLASSPATH
/usr/share/java/jsp-api.jar:/usr/share/java/servlet-api.jar:/etc/apps/tomcat/java/org/apache/catalina/startup:/etc/apps/tomcat/java/org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap.java
I have no idea if this is correct or not i'm afraid, does anyone have any ideas?

Thankyou
