you have it - 5.0.28 what have you upgraded from? did you change your environment variables? if you've been going round in circles, try uninstalling TC and reinstalling it from scratch. you can sometimes get in a mess by changing lots of things and its sometimes easier to start again. make sure you set CATALINA_HOME in your environment variables, to point to your TC installation directory. make sure that JAVA_HOME is set to point to you JDK installation (not JRE). for me this is "C:\j2sdk1.4.2". test both the above by opening a new DOS window and typing "echo %java_home%" and "echo %catalina_home%". you should get a response like this: C:\>echo %java_home% C:\j2sdk1.4.2 C:\>echo %catalina_home% c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 It should work straight out of the box, so don't try to install your webapp or change the config files at first. Just start it up by typing "catalina run" in a dos window. (Using this rather than "catalina start" keeps the window open so you can see any errors on startup, rather than the screen disappearing straight away.) Go to http://localhost:8080/ and check that you can see the TC default page. If not, find out why before installing your own webapps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
