server not found

[Jenn Person]

Hi,

I'm using jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1 and I had originally installed j2sdk1.4.2_02. After trying to get cachedrowset to work and fail a million times, I followed some advice and installed JDK 5.0. My problem is now when I create new servlets and try to run them I get the following error:

Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Exception report

message Internal Server Error

description The server encountered an internal error (Internal Server Error) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!

I've seen this happen when people bring jars from one version of Tomcat into another which you haven't done.

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: testing/hope (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)

I would start by recompiling all of your classes with the jdk1.5.0 version of javac, if you haven't already done so.

[Jenn Person]

so to compile with my new version of javac in JDK 5.0 I would have to alter my autoexec file right?

My current autoexec file:
SET Path=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
SET CATALINA_HOME=c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\bin
SET CLASSPATH=c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\bookStore\WEB-INF\classes

should it be changed to where JAVA_HOME points to where JDK 5.0 was installed?? For example:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02\bin??

[Jenn Person]

Oh another thing Ben, should I uninstall my old jdk?? which was j2sdk1.4.2_02?? would that help anything?

Thanks again!!

[Ben Souther]

JAVA_HOME should just point to the java dir.
Don't put the "bin" directory on the end.

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02


You shouldn't have to uninstall java.
I have 5 different versions on my machine.

[Jenn Person]

alright, I'll do that for sure...

so I have this now:
SET Path=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;
SET CATALINA_HOME=c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1
SET JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02
SET CLASSPATH=c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\jTunes\WEB-INF\classes

one more thing... should it be
c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02 (Path from Windows Explorer) or
c:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.5.0_02 (with Program Files' DOS name)??

[Ben Souther]

I've never tried with the shortend DOS names.
If you use the former, make sure you wrap them in quotes or you could have trouble with the spaces "program files".

You said you installed and are running as a Windows service.
Are you sure you even need the environment variables?
I've never run on Win98 but I know on any other flavor of Windows, when you install as a windows service, Tomcat stores the pointers to the JVM in the registry.
