Did you install TC as a service when you installed TC? Ie did you "tick" the bax that said "NT Service (NT/2k/XP only)".
If you didn't then uninstall, then reinstall and "tick" that box. But to find out if you have go to Start > Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services - then look through the list for something that looks like "Apache Tomcat 4.1" If you still can't figure this out (service), then just stick with the scripts you all ready have. As for your log4j issue, I think it is one of those really obvious errors that you don't look at because "it should be correct" type of error, u know the one I mean, and I can't advise anything else, cause it's working here on my machine with lg4j.jar in the <TC>/commons/lib dir.

I have only ever used one version of Log4j and that's 1.1.3. What I don't understand is why it can't work on my laptop when all installations are the same and the config files are in the same locations. Following your suggestions, I tried typing the following where I usually type "startup": D:\Studies\Systems Implementation II\Codes\84105_Ex1>net start "Apache Tomcat 4.1" The system returns to me: The service name is invalid. I looked at the help msg and this is what it said: EXPLANATION You tried to start a service that is not configured on this system. ACTION Check the spelling of the service name or check the configuration information for the service using the Services option from Server Manager. Sorry, I'm not really familiar with the XP Pro OS, or any other OS in fact, so I don't know where to configure this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nicholas Orr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Log4J Users List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 7:19 AM Subject: RE: Really Newbie Problem > Hey, do a search for your log4j*.jar file and see exactly where it is, > delete all of them.
