Apache Tomcat 8 not working. Throws HTTP Status 500 - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.index_jsp
IT'S WORKING!
What I did:
- Opened command prompt using "Run as administrator"
Went to the "bin" directory of Tomcat folder.
cd C:\Program Files\apache-tomcat-8.0.3\bin'
- Entered 'startup' to run 'startup.bat' and the server started
- Opened a web browser entered
http://localhost:8080/
and it worked like charm. This also started generating Tomcat log files too.
The only different thing I performed is "Run as administrator".
But I checked with Tomcat7 it did not require me to "Run as administrator" but it worked; not sure why
