The error says: This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0 or later.

But my Tomcat JVM setting is at: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\client\jvm.dll Isn't 1.5.0 J2SE 5.0? Basically yes, though there's a difference between the JRE and J2SE - the latter includes a compiler, though I seem to recall that recent versions of Tomcat are no longer dependant on having access to the Java compiler. I suspect you may have a path problem here. A trap for the unwary Windows player is that, as far as I am aware, Tomcat (and Java) struggle with Windows' standard approach to paths with spaces in them. What I mean by that is that Windows mostly copes happily with paths with spaces in them, whereas programs like Java require such paths to be inside quotes. IIRC, by default, the tomcat installer puts at least one space in the path ( Tomcat 5.5 - between Tomcat and 5 - there will be at least one more if you put it in the C:\Program Files\ directory), but doesn't put any quotes around that path in program settings and shortcuts, so installation using the default settings on Windows simply doesn't work. Note, this problem may have been fixed in recent versions - I now habitually ensure I have no spaces in the tomcat (or JVM) path when I install it. If you have any spaces in the path, I suggest you: 1. Uninstall Tomcat and the JVM/JRE 2. Reinstall being sure to choose paths for Tomcat and the JRE that have no spaces in them - be sure to remove the space in the path the installer offers for Tomcat (Tomcat 5.5) - it's not always obvious.

Newbie: Connection refused first time on Tomcat
I just installed Tomcat for the first time ever so please forgive the newbie question. I installed Apache Tomcat 5.5.9 Server and J2RE JSE 5.0 on an XP operating system. Tomcat starts up fine but when I try to go to the Welcome page, or the Manager Page. I get The connection was refused attempting to contact 127.0.0.1:8080 in FireFox, IE gives me this page cannot be displayed. I check the Tomcat logs and the stdout log has a few entries that read: This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0 or later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and installing a compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat binary download page. Any ideas what I should look at first?

Re: Newbie: Connection refused first time on Tomcat
I have the same problem here. If you tail -f the catalina log it never completes the startup. It hangs trying to set the context for admin for me. Can somebody let us know what we are doing wrong?

Re: Newbie: Connection refused first time on Tomcat
You need the compatibility stuff: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-5.cgi Search for compat on that page, and you'll see it. Larry On 25 Jul 2005 18:52:00 GMT, David E.
