Re: Tomcat is not starting - How to trap the startup error?

[Noel E. Lecaros]

Hi, (your-name-here)

Assuming it's Windows, just open a DOS prompt and type the command "startup"
located in the bin subdirectory.  If you get an exception filling up the
console, on NT you can simply increase the window size, reduce the console
screen font, and increase the console buffer.  On Win 9x, you're hosed.
