All,
I sent this out earlier but haven't seen a reply--didn't even get it mailed
back to myself--so forgive me if you see this twice.
I've been running GS 1.4 on Tomcat 5.5.15, JRE 1.5 on linux, and it's been
(mostly) reliable, though lately we've been having memory leaks. Since I
needed to upgrade any way, I wanted to move to 1.6 RC1. I had no problem at
all upgrading on my desktop (Window) machine: I just shutdown Tomcat,
removed the old geoserver directory and .war file, added the the new .war
file, started Tomcat, and everything worked. However when I try the same
approach on the linux side, Tomcat won't start. The last message I see in
the log files is: ERROR [geoserver.global].
Any thoughts?
Thanks Again,
Steve

That does not mean anything 
Can you look in the geoserver data directory and see if there is anything better in logs/geoserver.log (beware, look in the data directory, in the web app there is an empty logs/geoserver.log
that might trick you).
Also, try wiping out the Tomcat "work" directory contents and
restarting it, sometimes stuff lingering in the work directory
breaks upgrades.
Cheers

My sys admin started me off with a new clean install of Tomcat 5.5.25 and
jre 1.6, and still nothing happening. The only logs in
data/logs/geoserver.log are from 11/15....I assume they were compiled 'as
is.'

Ah, a mistake in the release procedure. Anyways, we're still where we
started. Anything in the standard tomcat logs? I need some indication
of what's going on in order to try and fix it.
Hum... jre 1.6? I hope you mean jdk?
Cheers
