RE: a sure way to work with tomcat under windows NT/2000/XP

[Kingsley Omon-Edo]

Hi Jake,

I have effected the modifications as and everything is perfect.  

I can now see the Apache Tomcat service running.  

Thanks for the help.  

I was wondering though what the JASPER_HOME environment variable is
meant to do, as the only thing Tomcat cares about is the CALINA_HOME
environment variable.

Just being curious...

You should set up your variables under System instead of User because if

you run Tomcat as a service, the User variables will not be read.  Also,

Tomcat doesn't care about the system classpath.  J2EE_HOME is fine to
set 
if you need that for something else.  Tomcat doesn't need it.  Also, 
TOMCAT_HOME is for Tomcat-3.x.x and below.  CATALINA_HOME is the only 
variable that Tomcat-4.x.x cares about other than JAVA_HOME.

Hello Jason,

My name is Kinsley and I am new to Tomcat.  I have successfully
installed the Jakarta Tomcat on Windows 2000 Advanced Server. It seems
to be OK for now as I have not done so much with it.  

I noticed that there are some differences between your procedures and
the one I followed.  They are as follows:
1. I had installed j2sdk1.4.1, and then I also installed the
j2sdkee1.3.1 setting class path to j2sdkee1.3.1.jar
2. I installed the Tomcat and set the following variables, JAVA_HOME,
J2EE_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME, CATALINA_HOME.

But I did all of these in the User Variables for Administrator and not
in the System Variables section as your suggested below.

I eventually hit the Tomcat home page which makes me think all is well.

I ran some of the examples, and they went well.

I am about to proceed to install the Watchdog.  But I need to know if
the installation I have done has any fundamental error in it that may
lead to problems later.

Please revert.

DONE! :)

steps for windows 9x/ME may vary slightly.

cmd.exe is command.com
variables are set in autoexec.bat and require a reboot
tomcat cannot install a service, and will have to be run as an
application 
from the start menu.

I highly suggest the you install cygwin, a full install
