Title: Starting TomCat

Hi   I am new to Tomcat. The startup script never work. With the JustGo, I got this Jstart.log. ========= This exe is F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\bin\Jstart.exe Finding TOMCAT_HOME via current location TOMCAT_HOME = F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat TOMCAT_LIB  = F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib JAVA_HOME = D:\jdk1.2 JAVA_EXE  = D:\jdk1.2\bin\java.exe   CLASSPATH: .;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\ant.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\jasper.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\servlet.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\xml.jar;D:\jdk1.2\lib\tools.jar   Executable : D:\jdk1.2\bin\java.exe   Command line arguments (in order appended) : -Dtomcat.home=F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat   Environment Vars : TOMCAT_HOME=F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat TOMCAT_LIB=F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib JAVA_HOME=D:\jdk1.2 JAVA_EXE=D:\jdk1.2\bin\java.exe WINDIR=D:\WINNT SystemRoot=D:\WINNT CLASSPATH=.;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\ant.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\jasper.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\servlet.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;F:\Tomcat3.1\jakarta-tomcat\lib\xml.jar;D:\jdk1.2\lib\tools.jar ------------------------------- ========= Which seem to indicate everything is working.

Rename the jakarta-tomcat directory to tomcat. I suggest you install it at the root level (d:\tomcat) b) configure your environment space. There are several ways to do this - one is adding a line with CommandEnvSize=4096  to the NonWindowsApp section of your system.ini. c) be sure that you are setting TOMCAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME properly (usually in your \autoexec.bat). Also configure your classpath,if you need one. d) there is a very nice tool JustGo that you can use if you definitely are not able to start Tomcat. see http://www.geocities.com/jdrudnicki/   Many issues related to configure and run Tomcat have been posted in this mailing list. I would also suggest you spend some time looking in the archives of this and other mailing list, the documentation, etc.   Julio Serje   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Carroll To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Monday, November 06, 2000 1:17 PM Subject: Starting TomCat       Have used TOMCAT at all?   I'm trying to configure the system and according to their documentation all I need to do is run the BAT file called TOMCAT with a parameter of RUN or START.  It end up blowing up on a CLASSDEFNOTFOUND error.  After looking at the BAT file, I see that its trying to lauch a JAVA program "org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat ". The install didn't even create a "org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat" directory or file.  I do have a "src.org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat.java", but this source only.  It doesn't make any mention abount having to build the system.  Any thoughts?  Did I down load the wrong thing?
