I was fooling around with the server.xml and the web.xml files that
belong to my Tomcat 4.1. Now, however, I can't get Tomcat to startup,
I am getting the error:
org.apache.commons.digester.Digester endElement
SEVERE: End event threw exception
etc etc

I am unable to return these files to their proper states, so I was
hoping somebody could copy a legit combination of the 2 so I can get
Tomcat running again.

Thanks in Advance

You know you can download Tomcat at any time from

jakarta.apache.org

Brilliant! Thanks for the help.

My old officemate would say to use your backup.

Hmm.. backup wouldn't be the correct tool for this (though it'd do the work
as well). Instead, a change/configuration/version management system should
do. So, backup should be limited to recovering from unexpectable failures;
it shouldn't be used as version control/configuration history system.

The minimum safety belt would be to manually make backup copies just before
starting to edit.
