Maybe, I don't know. > strange.. what may cause this? Among the first lines printed when you start Tomcat by using catalina.bat run should be the values of CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE. Are these (especially CATALINA_BASE) what you'd expect them to be - i. e. do the point to the dir where the Tomcat you just started is located? If not, is one or both of them already set in your environment?
