I have trouble starting tomcat 5.0.30 on an X86-64 Suse 10.0 server. I get this error in catalina.out when I try starting the server:
at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:208) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:402) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester
Any suggestions why Tomcat does not start?
(I hope this is the right mailing list?)
The tomcat's mailing list could probably be more helpful. I suppose that you are using SuSe tomcat's rpm, aren't you? Did you try the tomcat's binary from tomcat.apache.org? I've now x86-64 Suse's installation but I've several tomcat installation on SuSe 9.3 using the tomcat binary from tomcat.apache.org and never had a problem. You can find the missing class here probably: http://www.jarhoo.com/jarhoo/JarFileContents.do?jarFileId=2442 Regards, Gaël
