Running Tomcat Admin

I'm working with Tomcat 4.1.29 on IIS6. I've install enough that I get a page up via
http://localhost:8080/manager/html/ -

However, when I try to move to admin mode i get a 500 error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null

Generated servlet error:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file

I _do have an admin user defined:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat" />
<role rolename="role1" />
<role rolename="manger" />
<role rolename="manager" />
<role rolename="admin" />
<user username="tomcat" password="xx" roles="admin,tomcat,manager" />
<user username="role1" password="xx" roles="role1" />
<user username="both" password="xx" roles="admin,tomcat,role1" />
</tomcat-users>

I've tried google and seen a brief reference in a mailing list where someone said they were moving back a version level because of the error but I don't want to try that until you guys tell me to.

here's the admin log:

There'll be few people around apart from me today. If you cast your mind back a few minutes, you'll perhaps understand why i'm reluctant to get involved.

I've replied with a seperate thread but no huge hurry here...I'm offline for a few hours now.

thankx

OK - the first thing i'd suggest before i look into this a bit further is to take a 'blunt instrument' approach. Delete everything under the work directory.

Hi juststeve,

First of all, I should say that I've been running this version of Tomcat on Windows 2000 Professional without any problems.

It sounds like your copy of Tomcat can't find a JSP file. It's possible that the file isn't where Tomcat expects to find it or Tomcat doesn't have permission to read the file.

It looks like your Tomcat installation isn't standard. Have you moved some of the Tomcat directories? Are you running the Tomcat service or the one that fires up from the "Start Tomcat" item in the Start menu? In either case, make sure Tomcat has suitable file access permissions.

If you have fiddled with the installation, you should be able to get back to square one by re-installing Tomcat. It should run fine out of the box.

regards,
Richard

Does any one of the paths associated with Tomcat have spaces in it, e.g. 'Program Files' or 'Documents and Settings'? If so, that can break it. You'll have to reinstall if installed in the former.

Mick Barry

Does loading of *any* jsp pages work?

juststeve

ASKER

Deleting 'work' didn't work... and no funky paths being used.

Archie....I'm on Server 2003. Proabably the only difference is the need to run IIS in 'isolation' mode but IIS6 has a number of different default settings than 5. I've looked but cannot find the installer jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29-LE-jdk14.exe . I've manually set it up to run as service via instructions at http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=TomcatWin32Service

objects: It appears not. I'd _thought that just getting the /manager/html screen up was indication of .jsp but I guess that's just a static page.

One of the instruction sheets pointed me to the version 2 connector. while others give specific directions for the earlier version. Is there a way to tell if the isapi_redirect.dll is being hit?

Archie_Gremlin

Hi juststeve,

You can find the Windows installation version of Tomcat at:
http://ftp.plig.net/pub/apache/dist/jakarta/tomcat-4/v4.1.29/bin/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29.exe

Create an environment variable called JAVA_HOME before you run the installer. Tomcat uses it to decide which JDK to use. Of course you have to install the JDK separately before installing Tomcat.

Question: Do you need to use IIS at all? Tomcat is a pretty good web server on it's own. Personally I wouldn't hook it into IIS unless I had to use NTLM authentication or I was going to run a high volume site with lots of static content.

To get yourself going, I suggest that get rid of your current installation and start again. Install the latest JDK. Set JAVA_HOME and install the Tomcat .EXE release. This will set up Tomcat as a service listening on port 8080. At this point, it should all work fine unless you've got another server listening on port 8080. You can then work out how to integrate it with IIS at your leisure.

If this machine is exposed to the internet you'll probably need to tighten up the security of Tomcat and IIS. There's a Wrox book called "Apach Tomcat Security" that deals with Tomcat quite well. (ISBN 1-861008-30-9)

Richard

Thankx Richard...lots of ASP stuff going on so I don't see moving away from IIS anytime soon. I've stepped through a re-install one time this morning...

I think I'm getting closer - my stderr.log has this (hopefully) interesting line:

Richard:
>>Did you use the .EXE installer?
Yes...probably wouldn't be going thro these problems if the '.zip' version also auto installed. I think my baseline problem is lingering bits from that first install attempt. more abot this seperately...

>>How did you start Tomcat?
Currently have it running as a service logging on my admin account.

>>Have you changed anything at all to do with the Tomcat configuration?
Added the worker.properties and urixx.properties files. edited the java_home paths etc.

>>Which JDK are you using?
1.4.2_02

One of the instruction sheets i worked off early on pointed me to a version 2 of the redirector along with instructions on editing the registry. Now that I'm trying to re-install with the .exe installer I find i can't delete that original isapi_redirector2.dll - permission denied.

I've wiped everything back to a non-installed state...all files deleted...all registry entries deleted...isapi filters removed via IIS. And still i can't delete that v2 redirector. (even with IIS off)

Each reboot throws this error into the event log:
Error: [jk_isapi_plugin.c (684)]: read_registry_init_data, Failed Registry OpenKey Software\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\2.0

the hard insists there's not such file as jk_isapi_plugin*.*

I'm working on that file delete / Registry failure elsewhere but just toss in out incase it trips anyone's trigger.

As far as XML parser...the server was delivered with ActivePerl installed and I noticed:
D:\Perl\site\lib\Apache\XMLRPC\
