Tomcat4 won't start!

[Arnaud Vandyck <arnaud.vandyck@ulg.ac.be>]

Hi all, Hi Stephan,

I did a 'clean' installation of tomcat4 from debs (removing all my
customizations, etc, purging everything and then apt-get install
tomcat4 libtomcat4-java tomcat4-webapps but Tomcat won't start.

Here is a part of the log:

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/share/tomcat4
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat4
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat4/temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3

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

Is Tomcat using jdk1.4?

I did try to set TOMCAT4_SECURITY='no' but nothing changed.

I am on Woody,

Linux vbstefi30 2.4.18-686 #1 Sun Apr 14 11:32:47 EST 2002 i686 unknown

~ $ java -version
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.3.1-FCS, mixed mode)
~ $ 

Did I miss something?

Thank you for reply.
