Windows Migration 5.5.23 to 6.0.18 - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina

[Dan-290]

I am migrating from 5.5.23 on Windows to 6.0.18. I have installed the
Windows Service binary download and can start up the server fine with the
installation defaults.

I then point CATALINA_BASE to my actual tomcat base directory that I use for
my project with 5.5.23 and I get the following:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
        at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.init(Bootstrap.java:215)
        at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:390)

What other changes should I make after installation? With 5.5.23 that was
all that was necessary, is there another step to use a custom catalina base
with 6.x? Are they not backwards-compatible in this sense?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan

You need to set CATALINA_HOME variable pointingo to your installation
directory.

CATALINA_HOME is pointing there, that is the default from the installtion.
Here is the view of the tomcat service params:

-Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0.18
-Dcatalina.base=c:\dev\tomcat
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
6.0.18\endorsed
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat
6.0.18\temp
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Tomcat 6.0.18\conf\logging.properties

Thanks,

Dan

That's not useful in any way.  The OP is running Tomcat as Windows service, so environment variables are ignored.  Any necessary settings (including location of the Tomcat code) must be done via the tomcat6w.exe program.

Note that once the service is installed, the location of the tomcat6.exe program *cannot* be changed, but catalina.home and catalina.base system properties can.  If you want to run tomcat6.exe from a different location, you'll need to download the .zip (not .exe) package, install it where you want, then use the service.bat script to create the service.

And what's under c:\dev\tomcat?

I haven't changed anything from the default installation. I did the
following:

1. Installed 6.0.18 as windows service
2. Launch the service after a successful installation, no problems it
starts. Tried the tomcat6.exe directly, no problems.
3. Click the service tray icon to change the -Dcatalina.base directory to
c:\dev\tomcat
4. Restart the service, it fails with the classnotfound exception as noted,
same if I use tomcat6.exe.

The c:\dev\tomcat contains my webapps etc. so it has a
bin/conf/logs/shared/webapps/ directories.

I'm really stumped on this one as I've used tomcat for years with no
problems.

Is there a CLASSPATH environment variable that needs to exist?

Thanks,

Dan

You cannot use pre-existing 5.5 configuration to run Tomcat 6.0. You
must copy the one from TC 6.0 installation and tune it accordingly.

Your specific problem is caused by the differences in
catalina.properties files (*.loader paths are different), but most of
other configuration files are also different between versions (though
similar).

CLASSPATH variable is not needed.

The classloading hierarchy has changed in Tomcat 6; in particular, there is no shared directory anymore, but there is a lib directory (under catalina.home).  If you're missing that, you'll get the exception you noted.

If you simply expect your 5.5 conf/server.xml and conf/*.properties files to work in Tomcat 6, you're sadly mistaken.

Read the doc for the current level, not what you've used for years.  Things change.

> Is there a CLASSPATH environment variable that needs to exist?

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER set the CLASSPATH variable for Tomcat.  (Besides, services ignore environment variables.)

I did read that but it didn't explicitly mention the change in the
properties files etc. for classloader.

I did expect the server to at least boot up with errors or something.

Thanks for the help, will simply copy the installation default properties
files to my base and should be good.

Best,

Dan
