Hi, I am not sure if everyone else's configuration for cygwin is different. But I had to change the catalina.sh so that it converts the CATALINA_BASE to windows format path before it will work.
<not work for me> # For Cygwin, switch paths to Windows format before running java if $cygwin; then JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JAVA_HOME"` CATALINA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_HOME"` CLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --windows "$CLASSPATH"` JSSE_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JSSE_HOME"` fi </not work for me> <works now> # For Cygwin, switch paths to Windows format before running java if $cygwin; then JAVA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JAVA_HOME"` CATALINA_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_HOME"` CATALINA_BASE=`cygpath --path --windows "$CATALINA_BASE"` CLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --windows "$CLASSPATH"` JSSE_HOME=`cygpath --path --windows "$JSSE_HOME"` fi <works now> Regards, Boon
