Unable to start webserver in Jboss3.2.3

[pravs]

I downloaded Jboss-3.2.3 and executed the run.bat file.
The server started but I am unable to send any request to http://localhost:8080/. I am getting a 'Page cannot be displayed' error.

When I checked the server log, I can see the following error:

WARN [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.web:service=WebServer
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout

The log4j.jar is present in the JBOSS_DIST/server/default/lib directory and it contains the Layout class.

Please help me resolve this problem.
Thanking in advance.

place the log4j.jar in JBOSS_HOME\client and see.

Thanks for replying....But the log4j.jar is already present in the JBOSS_HOME\client folder.
Even tried putting it in the system classpath......same problem.

Any more ideas please?

Thnkx

Praveen,
I too am having this problem. Did you ever get this resolved and if so, what were the step(s)?
