I got “Server Tomcat v9.0 Server at localhost failed to start.” issue and found so many solutions when I search, but nothing really solve my problem.
Debug console:
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap
I’ve try:
- Change Tomcat ports
- Change JAVA_HOME link
- Tons of recreate, restart, reinstall Tomcat 9.0 and jdk 17, but still doesn’t work
- I notice that my debug console said something difference with the others
