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

[MTiffany71]

If you are using Win9x AND you're starting Tomcat from the DOS batch file
script (which it sounds like you are...), when the DOS console appears, just
click the "properties" button: When the properties dialog box pops up it will
prevent the DOS box from closing. You'll be able to read the error  output on
the console.

YMMV

Good Luck,
