HTTP JVM Error starting the server

When I start my server (6.5.1 on Win2k) the HTTP prompt this:

HTTP JVM: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/jar/JarFile: java/util/jar/JarFile

I have the same problem with a 6.5.1 on WinNT server (SP6a)

Probably there is an error in the classpath, or a missing jar file, but I have no idea.

Thanks in advance

Hi , Was this after an upgrade? I have read somewhere that the install doesn’t alway remove old .jar files i have found on the server i’m working on that there are duplicate files in the Domino Programs directory as well as the programs\JVM directory.

I found the solution for my problem.

As I have read in some similar posts, this problem is due to an installation over an old version of Domino Server.

A new installation in a new directory resolves this problem. Probably it’s due by some jar files missing or duplicate, or by an incorrect tree of directory.

Hope it helps.

Bye

Thanks for your post - I was getting JVM failed to start when testing an Agent from Designer client (could not find rt.jar message in the Notes log)

Eventually realised it had worked but BEFORE the upgrade to R6.5.3.

Re-installing the client into new directory solved the problem after many hours of searching the forum for Classpath problems.

Hope this post might save someone that effort.

Hi Enrica, I’m experiencing exactly the same erorr messgae when the Domino server starts the HTTP process. This is the first time after a 6.5.1 upgrade that the HTTP task has been started.I think I’ve narrowed is down to a classpath problem aswell.

I’ve checked the system classpath and the Javauserclasses in the notes.ini but I still can’t sort it.

Id be most greatful to hear if you get any feedback. In the meantime, I’m gonna continue hunting down a solution
