Note that you say you are configuring Tomcat 3.2.4 but are setting TOMCAT_HOME to tomcat-3.2.1.
If you are copying Tomcat 3.2.4 on top of a Tomcat 3.2.1 installation, be aware that this is an untested form of installation. I would recommend installing Tomcat 3.2.4 in a new directory and updating the configuration and web apps to match your 3.2.1 installation. Normally the "Unable to set CLASSPATH dynamically ... Setting your CLASSPATH statically" message is just a warning. However, in Tomcat 3.2.4 this represents an error. Tomcat 3.2.4 includes JAXP 1.1 as the XML parser (consisting of jaxp.jar and crimson.jar) where Tomcat 3.2.3 and earlier included JAXP 1.0.1 (consisting of jaxp.jar and parser.jar). Note that with 3.2.4, it is crimson.jar that is found in the TOMCAT_HOME/lib, not parser.jar. There is a bug in the tomcat.bat file where it tries to build the CLASSPATH setting staticially, i.e. with a bunch of "SET" commands. This portion of the batch file is only used on Win9x systems when a directory in the TOMCAT_HOME path isn't a DOS 8.3 name. This portion of tomcat.bat still specifies parser.jar instead of crimson.jar. Change all "parser.jar" references to "crimson.jar" in tomcat.bat and you should be okay. You could also do what the message says and manually set your TOMCAT_HOME using DOS 8.3 names, (i.e. SET TOMCAT_HOME=C:\TOMCAT~1 ), or make sure all directories in the path to Tomcat are DOS 8.3 names, (i.e. C:\Jakarta\Tc324 ). This would allow the CLASSPATH to be build automatically to include all jars found in TOMCAT_HOME\lib. Hope this helps.
