Liakim, Ok, I will give it a try. The first message that I saw says that you have the following settings the the autoexec.bat:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1_01 set CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0 The JAVA_HOME is seen, but CATALINA_HOME is not being seen by Tomcat based on the following output from your last message: Using CATALINA_HOME: c:\jakarta tomcat 4.0 Using JAVA_HOME: c:\jdk1.3.1_01 I would suggest that you quote ("") the CATALINA_HOME variable....I had to on Win2K...Like this: set CATALINA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Apache Tomcat 4.0" That may help, if Tomcat is intalled in that directory. Spaces and paths don't work the best. Possible, but tends in invite pain. You MUST reboot for this change to take affect. Second, the error you listed in your last message is a Connection refused. If Tomcat is not running correctly (not listening) that would be the error I would expect. If you have been modifying the server.xml you may want to change it back to the way it was and try it again. If needed you may even want to install Tomcat again. After all that. Follow the dircetions provided with Tomcat and start it up. If it starts correctly the http://localhost:8080 in the browser of your local machine should work. Sorry if others have given this advise. I just joined the user's list today, but have been doing Tomcat stuff for a while. Good luck, Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
