Problem with Tomcat4.0

[webmast]

hi...
i'm using tag libraries in my JSP application which is supported only by Tomcat4.0. I was comfortable working with the previous versions of Tomcat. I downloaded Tomcat4.0, but couldnt get it running.Immediately after i give the startup command tomcat opens and closes off.I set the classpath and java_home variable.could anyone help me with how to configure it and get it running.

Thanx in advance....
Pri

you'll need to supply errors from server logs in order for me to have an idea of what went wrong. Liam Morley

Thanx for your reply. Actually now Tomcat4 is running. The earlier problem was with JDK version. I was using jdk1.2 which is not supported. Now i've switched over to JDK1.4.
But still i have problem.I tested the server with some simple pages inside ROOT directory. Its responding properly.
I have an application inside a folder PCMS which i've placed
in the webapps folder.I've tested the application with tomcat3.It was okk. But with tomcat4 whenever i start the server and try to access the same its giving error.

The link i typed is

http://localhost:8080/pcms5/jsp_home/pcms_main.htm

The error getting displayed is

Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 404 - /pcms5/jsp_home/pcms_main.htm

type Status report

message /pcms5/jsp_home/pcms_main.htm

description The requested resource (/pcms5/jsp_home/pcms_main.htm) is not available.

I'm absolutely sure about the path since i've been using the
same with previous version and it was working perfectly.
I tried out a sample application with taglibrary also but got the same error..what could be the problem?

hrm, interesting. can you see if there are any log files in your CATALINA_HOME/logs/ folder that have anything interesting? like a stack trace or anything else that looks suspicious? hopefully something will turn up there.. Liam Morley
