Turn the "echo on" in your catalina.bat to see what exactly is the command that it is trying to run...
Also if u want to run tomcat in the same window then use the command "catalina.bat run" instead of "catalina.bat start" "run" option, would not run tomcat in a new DOS window....

Funny thing is that I had been successfully running Tomcat 3.2.3 recently in the past. Now that I've downloaded JDK 1.3.1_01 (successfully, too) and Tomcat 4.0 (successfully, also-- not 4.01) and have updated my environment variables: JAVA_HOME = c:\jdk1.3.1_01 TOMCAT_HOME = my tomcat 4.0 directory (no referenec anywhere here to the old tomcat3.2.3 directory) CATALINA_HOME = my tomcat 4.0 directory PATH= c:\JDK1.3.1_01\bin It appears that Tomcat can't start my JDK bin files, I keep getting a "Bad command or file name" error message when I startup Tomcat 4.0 command. I tried editing JAVA_HOME to the old JKD1.3 directory (which worked in Tomcat 3.2.3) but still keep getting the same error message. I'm stumped. Any and all replies are greatly appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Urban" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2001 6:13 AM Subject: RE: GETTING STARTED WITH TOMCAT > The window that is opening and closing is the Tomcat window.
