Hi Mercieca, I am running Tomcat 4.1.27 on XP..
Did u set JAVA_HOME before starting it.. you can also try running setClasspath.bat before starting tomcat. And try using the cmd startup to start tomcat. Regards Mitul Mercieca David <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uho-sc.com> cc: Subject: Errors installing tomcat 4.1.x on windows xp 06/10/2003 13:36 Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" I have been a tomcat user for a while and have no trouble installing it on NT machines. However we have just moved over to Windows xp. I have just tried installing version 4.1.27 and 4.1.24 and I get the error attached to this mail. I have java 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 installed and tried using both and Tomcat is not happy either way. btw..ANT version 1.5.x works fine on the same machine. Anyone had similar issues?
