Hi!

I worked through the starting guide until i got this error (start tomcat5):
Could not find main class. Program will exit.

and

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
Exception in thread “main”

The configuration of tomcat5 should be alright (new jdk, correct paths …)

the deployment of the hello-world-project was succesfully

maybe someone have some tips for me

This looks like an installation or configuration problem. Are you using MyEclipse or Sysdeo Tomcat plugin?

I use MyEclipse as described in the “Quickstart — Essentials”

If you download this file:
http://download.nextag.com/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.17/bin/apache-tomcat-5.5.17.zip

Unzip it to a new dir, then adjust your Tomcat 5 connector settings in MyEclipse to point to that HOME dir, setup a JDK to launch it (JDK 1.5) and make sure your Paths are all empty and your Launch settings are on debug, when you try and launch it from the toolbar, do you still get the class not found?
