I tried to install Tomcat 4.1.30 for my friend this afternoon. He has a
Win98SE
machine.
I create the environment variables JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME via
msconfig as follows:
set CATALINA_HOME=C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.30
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02
Then, I tried executing startup.bat but got "out of space" errors. I found
those explained in the RUNNING document so I changed the initial space for both
startup.bat and shutdown.bat to 4096 in their properties. Rather than helping, I
actually got *more* errors, including:
- JAVA_HOME not correctly specified
- "out of environment space" [10-12 times]
- a complaint about the D-JavaSpecificDirs [or something similar]
- another error I can't recall now.
For what it's worth, I also tried setting JAVA_HOME to c:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\bin
but that didn't help.
Can anyone help me figure out what is going wrong? I never had any problems
installing Tomcat and making the startup.bat work, even the first time I
installed it a couple of years ago and knew nothing about Tomcat....
The only guess I've got is that my friend's PC is just too old
and slow. It is a Pentium-100 with 64 MB of memory. I couldn't find any hardware
requirements for running Tomcat though so I don't know if that is my
problem.
