I've seen this behaviour when the server.xml was messed up i.e. it was edited (e.g. with a tool like Frontpage oder Wordpad (?)). The solution was to start with a default server.xml (from the tomcat zip-archive). hth jan -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: David Herder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Mittwoch, 4.

I read in the FAQ that this is due to memory allocation for the command prompt, but under NT, I cannot find a way to change this. Nonetheless, I don't think this is the probem, as I am also getting a "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to run servlets. I have followed the suggestions in the faq about capitalizing the WEB-INF folder, but this has not changed anything. But first things first, any suggestions on keeping the Tomcat Window open?? Thanks, Dave
