unix > Apache > Tomcat

I am installing tomcat on a solaris9 box runnign apache.... I placed
the following command in the startup.sh script

JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_05";
export JAVA_HOME;

To make sure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set to the correct
location. (Is there a better way to do this?)


When I start tomcat nothing is wrong....
#./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
USING JAVA_HOME /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_05

When i like to check if the service is runnig by connecting to
http://10.99.1.115:8080 and I do NOT get anything yeah a error
page that the location can not be found.....

So i do ./shutdown.sh and the following is reported:

#./startup.sh
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.27
USING JAVA_HOME /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_05
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap


What is the problem? do you have any clue? Please help........

If the startup script doesn't specify bash, the "export" bit
is useless...

Yes, put it in the /where/tomcat/is/bin/startup.sh

Yes, this is what I get all the time, apparently the startup/shutdown
is able to startup Tomcat but not to shut it down. I have to manually
kill it... annoying...

For the fact that you don't get a response, check if port 8080 is
opened and listening, netstat -an | grep 8080 should tell you.
