Re: Tomcat doesn't start under Windows XP

[Giorgio Franceschetti]

Well, I changed to the SDK's directory. I set my environments variables 
into the "my computer" section.
I don't know which one of these thing was right, but it started!  :-)
Thanks to all for the help.

This is a JRE?  You should be using a JDK.

Have you set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to be your jdk
install directory (with no trailing slash)?
The command the script is trying to execute seems to be missing a 
vital bit: <expanded_java_home>\bin\java.exe

HTH,

Jon
     

This is what the script send to the console:
Using JAVA_HOME:       C:\Programmi\Java\j2re1.4.2
It seems to me that it's right.
But I agree with you that  there should be something missing 
in the command. Giorgio

I'm trying to start Tomcat, but I'm receiving a strange error. I'm 
using Win XP Java 1.4.2, Tomcat 4.1.27

Fist time I received the message: Cannot Find file
"-Djava.endorsed.dirs=".
So I spent some time looking into the documentation and I 
       

decided to 
   

set a new variable JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS = 
       

%CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed.
   

This becouse this variable it's. used into the script 
       

(CATALINA.BAT) 
   

but it's never set up to any value.
I don't know if it' right, I cannot find any information 
       

about this 
   

variable into the running.txt, but, after that, I've 
       

received a new 
   

message error: 
"Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\OpenSource\tomcat\common\endorsed"  
(obviously %CATALINA_HOME=c:\OpenSource\tomcat).
So, I decided to change the script , only to try to 
       

understand what's 
   

happening. I deleted the  
"-Djava.endorsed.dirs="%JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS%" instruction.
Next time I received a new error: "Cannot find file: 
       

-classpath". By 
   

th way, -classpath is the instruction that immediately 
       

follow the one 
   

that I have cancelled.
This time I thought that the error was somewhere before that 
instruction.
I tryed to see which were the values that the script were using.
It was trying to execute a command like that:  start "Tomcat" 

       

-Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Applicativi-Open-Source\tomcat\common\
endorsed 
   

-classpath C:\Applicativi-Open-Source\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar 
-Dcatalina.base=C:\Applicativi-Open-Source\tomcat 
-Dcatalina.home=C:\Applicativi-Open-Source\tomcat 
-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Applicativi-Open-Source\tomcat\temp 
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start

But now I don't know what more to do.
Thanks in advance for help.
Giorgio
