Dear all, I am at my wit's end trying to configure Tomcat on my laptop.
I've tried tomcat 3.3.1, Tomcat 4.0.3 and now 4.0.1 to no avail, each with their own problems. The closest I've gotten is with 3.3.1, so I'm trying that again. Previously, I'd been able to get the Tomcat server up and running, and my only problem was with my java comiler. I (unreasonably) decided to start all over again with another version (the one my book walked me through). Now I can't even start the server. It begins for a few secods (in anoher msdos window that says "JAVA") and then shuts down almost immediately. I can just barely read something that flashes across that appears to be "exception in 'main'" or some kind of exception. I've been following instructions first at: http://archive.coreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-3.2.html or http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html now I'm using http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-ug.html I've changed my memory settings to 4096, but still when I run startup, the new window opens up only for a few seconds before shutting down again. I also modified config.sys as follows SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:4096 /P I am using windows 98, have set autoexec.bat to read: SET JAVA_HOME=C:\JDK1.3.1_03 and I appended my PATH to inlcude the last bit, as mcafee already has a PATH setting in my autoexec.bat: SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\MCAFEE~1;C:\JDK1.3.1_03\BIN Obviously I have no clue what I'm doing so I'm just trying to follow instructions. Are there settings I may have set for my attempts at installing previous version that need to be changed? I'm really at a loss and would appreciate any suggestions as to other user guides online or if anyone has any insights.
