I tested servlet-examples / jsp-example. Yesterday I tried to create new application inside Tomcat (trying to put the directory structure - web.xml, also tried to put inside server.xml (later removed as seems not required) Yesterday I also installed struts and ant. Created many test applications. Many times i shut down the tomcat and restarted and every time it was ok, many my test application ran properly too. Today morning when i started my computer everything seems to be stopped. When I tried to start Tomcat server, it gave lots of error msgs. At the end said started in 180ms (which is too small compare to normal time). When i tried http://localhost:8080/ i could not open. Further more i can not delete any folder inside /webapp/ , can not rename any folder. When i tried to see Control Panel->System->Advance->Environment Variables I am unable to edit PATH / CLASSPATH variables. What i did : in different directory i re-installed Tomcat server, seems to be working. I tried to delete old TomCat directory - but i am getting following error Can not delete bootstrap.jar : Access is denied. The source file may be in use. I do not know what to do, i need to modify the PATH variable to compile few java files. Pls pls help me i am really stuck regards Manisha --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
