Sounds like you are using Windows and double clicking on the startup.bat
file????
Open your dos shell.
type java -version <enter this will confirm the presence of your java
environment with your java version
cd \location\of\tomcat\bin <enter
startup.bat <enter (I think its called startup.bat -- confirm this)
your window will stay open and you will get your error messages.
confirm that tomcat is not running by calling the tomcat homepage.
(http://localhost:8080/) check that a different jdk was not inserted in
your classpath before the one you want. Check that permissions weren't
changed.

Subject: Tomcat is not starting - How to trap the startup error?
Hello,
I am using Tomcat as my server and it was working fine till yesterday.
Somebody was in my system to install bunch of stuff and after that, when
I tried to start the server, it starts and the JAVA console comes and it
disappears in a second,. Since I couldn't see, what was in the console,
I couldn't figure out, what is causing the tomcat not to start.
IS there any way, I can find out why tomcat is not starting. I checked
my CLASSPATH , PATH and server.log nothing helps.
Thank you for your time.
