64
	<p>The symptoms are that the metacat service will not show up at all, even though Tomcat 
65
      is serving, and the following error shows up in the tomcat log (catalina.log):</p>
66
      
67
      <div class="code">org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: User-specified log
68
      class 'org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger' cannot be found or is
69
      not useable </div>
70
      
71
      <p>This message typically occurs in the tomcat log (catalina.log) 
72
      when Tomcat has been installed on an Ubuntu/Debian system using apt-get install.  
73
      And the application is started using:
74
        
75
        <div class="code">/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start</div>  
76
        
77
      <p>The problem is that the standard startup scripts reference the 
78
      common java service, jsvc.  Metacat will not run under jsvc.  The solutions are:
79
      <ul>
80
      <li>Download the <a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/download.html">Metacat binary install package</a>
81
       and replace your /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 startup script with the one provided in the
82
       package.</li>
83
      <li>Run Tomcat from the Tomcat binary directory: <tomcat_home>/bin/startup.sh and 
84
      <tomcat_home>/bin/shutdown.sh</li>
85
      </ul>
