Hi john
Can you cut and paste here the definition part of your Context and the <Connector> element in which you have defined the port 8081 from your server.xml.
That will help to go to the problem.
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
Pls find the info u requested as below...let me know if u need any other info..

enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"

<!-- If you wanted the examples app to be able to edit the

Of course, you would want to enable security on the

The database object could be accessed like this:
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
UserDatabase database =
(UserDatabase) envCtx.lookup("userDatabase");
-->

<!-- PersistentManager: Uncomment the section below to test Persistent
Sessions.
saveOnRestart: If true, all active sessions will be saved
to the Store when Catalina is shutdown, regardless of
other settings. All Sessions found in the Store will be
loaded on startup. Sessions past their expiration are
ignored in both cases.
maxActiveSessions: If 0 or greater, having too many active
sessions will result in some being swapped out. minIdleSwap
limits this. -1 or 0 means unlimited sessions are allowed.
If it is not possible to swap sessions new sessions will
be rejected.
This avoids thrashing when the site is highly active.
minIdleSwap: Sessions must be idle for at least this long
(in seconds) before they will be swapped out due to
activity.
0 means sessions will almost always be swapped out after
use - this will be noticeably slow for your users.
maxIdleSwap: Sessions will be swapped out if idle for this
long (in seconds). If minIdleSwap is higher, then it will
override this. This isn't exact: it is checked periodically.
-1 means sessions won't be swapped out for this reason,
although they may be swapped out for maxActiveSessions.
If set to >= 0, guarantees that all sessions found in the
Store will be loaded on startup.
maxIdleBackup: Sessions will be backed up (saved to the Store,
but left in active memory) if idle for this long (in seconds),
and all sessions found in the Store will be loaded on startup.
If set to -1 sessions will not be backed up, 0 means they
should be backed up shortly after being used.
To clear sessions from the Store, set maxActiveSessions, maxIdleSwap,
and minIdleBackup all to -1, saveOnRestart to false, then restart
Catalina.

hi john
I replaced my <Connector> element by yours and it is working fine. I am getting Home page of Tomcat by http://localhost:8081. So, it is tough from this much info to get to your specific problem.
See I can pass on some steps by which I started my Tomcat. Do give a try.
Installation and Configuration of Apache TOMCAT 4.1.29
1. Download the zip file from
http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/tomcat4-files/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29-preconfigured.zip
Or
http://sunsite.tus.ac.jp/pub/apache/jakarta/tomcat-4/v4.1.29/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29.zip
2. Unzip the file in C Drive under the directory. C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29. This directory is CATALINA_HOME.
3. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
4. Set the CATALINA_HOME environment variable.
5. You can change the port on which Tomcat listens for HTTP requests. In server.xml., find the following element
and set the port value.
<!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
PORT="**************" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75".....................

6. Enable INVOKER servlet. In web.xml file of your application context, put the following lines.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

7. Compile your servlet class and copy the class file under the your conext's WEB-INF/classes directory.
8. Add servlet mapping to your application's web.xml file
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>InitServlet</servlet-class>

<init-param>
<param-name>Foo Var</param-name>
<param-value>BAR</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
9. Start the tomcat and access your servlet as
http://localhost ort/ContextName/ServletName

let us know your findings.

Hi Sachin,
Thanks for your detailed response. I followed the steps, but still getting the same exception. I tried installing the same in a different machine from scratch and everything worked fine.. but on my PC, it doesn't work even after foll the steps mentioned by u... looks like there is some problem in some settings or something....
thanks anyway,
Regards
John

Hi John,
As it seems to be your machine specific settings problem, do let us know once you get the solution for this problem.

I'm coming in late to this problem, but I wonder if the problem is the version of the Java SDK installed on the particular machine. As I recall, Tomcat 4 had separate release binaries for systems with Java 1.3 and 1.4.
Which version of Java is installed on the machine that doesn't work?
Bill

[John Vergis]

Hi Bill,
The java version on the machine where it failed was "1.4.2_01".
Thanks
John
