Tomcat not starting

[Manish Hatwalne]

I am trying to start Tomcat 4.1 on Windows 2000 for quite some time, but it
fails immediately after startup, and I get this error -

How do I fix this? I believe the Java home is correct, however I do have few
more JVMs (1.3 and 1.2) on my machine and I do need them all. What do I do
now????

TIA,

There's the nub of the problem. SHA-1 is Secure Hash Algorithm. I don't
know where in the world you're located but there are still some export
restrictions on cryptography elements. If you picked up the version of
the JDK/JRE designed for export then it might not include this crpyto
algorithm.
Depending on your situation and JDK/JRE version, you might have to
download the JCE (Java Cryptography Extension).

I am located in India and My JDK is j2sdk1.4.0_01 which is rather old.

Due to bandwidth restrictions, I can't upgrade to JDK 1.4.2 or later
immediately.
From where can I load this JCE and where should I copy it? (is it
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib ?)

Thought so. Plus you no doubt downloaded the export version, without
crypto. You can download JCE from <http://java.sun.com> but I don't
know that it will work with 1.4.
You might just have to bite the bullet and download a new, complete
version.

OK. I found required policy jar files on Sun's ste, but now they have these
JCE policy files only for JDK 1.4.2 and not for JDK 1.4.0
Where can I get this???

It looks like Tomcat is looking for some encryption libraries that
aren't available. Did you get the "international" version of the JDK?
I don't think it includes the Java Cryptography Excetions (JCE)...
try installing the JCE:

Hello Manish

You can download the newer Tomcat version 5.0.28. This version is working
fine with my j2sdk1.4. Moreover, the download is just about 5 mb which is
much smaller then jdk.

You sure it's about 5 MB?
I see it as 12.4 MB on the site.

http://apache.gr-linux.net/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.28/bin/

I was hoping to avoid this download, but it seems inevitable.
Unfortunately, these days Computer magazines are not distributing JDK and
Tomcat, don't know why???
Not everybody has fast connection!

OOps! Sorry, you are correct. It is indeed 12.4 MB.

Look up June 04 issue of Developer IQ, they have all sorts of tools from
apache such as Ant etc.... I am sure it must be carrying Tomcat.
