Steve, are you typing (literally) "startup.bat" at the DOS command line to start Tomcat?? If so, you should just type in "startup"--one word--and that should quickly activate it to your satisfaction!! If it still doesn't, get back to me "at the speed of light" and I will go on with trying to help you! ********************************************************************* On Mon 11/25, Steve Russell wrote:From: Steve Russell [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 16:18:37 -0500Subject: Re: Problems running Tomcat from command lineAt 12:41 PM 11/25/2002 -0800, you wrote: > Ya, Christopher Balz is "right on the money" with his solid judgement > that all of >the various slashes in BOTH the path and the classpath env. variables should >definitely point in just one direction only!!! This isn't an issue. As I wrote in my post I had two sets of output. One I got when trying to run tomcat from dos which only gave me "bad command or file name". The second set of output is from cygwin, a unix emulator that mixes up/ takes care of slashes of different directions. I included that output because it gave a little bit more information. My apologies if it gave anyone the mistaken impression that I had mixed slash types in my Windows 2000 environmental variables. I could still use some help. Clicking on startup.bat gets tomcat running. typing "startup.bat" at a dos prompt in C:\TOMCAT\bin does nothing. Here are the enviromental variables for Windows 2000 I set under "system": CLASSPATH: ..;C:\W2Kimage_c\cygwin\home\steve\Projects\Classes;C:\TOMCAT\lib\servlet.jar PATH: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SystemRoot%\system32\nls;%SystemRoot%\system32\nls\English;C:JDK\bin;C:\ProgramFiles\GnuEmacs21.2\bin;C:\ProgramFiles;C:\PROGRA~1\ULTRAE~1;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN; JAVA_HOME: C:\JDK TOMCAT_HOME C:\TOMCAT Any ideas? Please? :) Steve > Steve Russell Applications Developer 301-251-1161 x 275 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emmes Corporation 401 N.
