Bug#292720: tomcat4: Tomcat4 does not start because coyote apparently fails

[Thomas Lamy]

Package: tomcat4
Version: 4.1.31-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading to the latest "Sarge" package tomcat4 no longer starts.
I already googled, but 
1) "example webapps not installed" does not apply here (umm, they're
   installed but commented in server.xml)
2) "Check server.xml and web.xml validity" - I don't know how to do
   that. shouldn't there be some parse errors in the log if that
   applies?

Sorry if this is not a package but a user bug, but I'm clueless now...


Thanks for any response!
