Steven, Couple of things to try, no spaces in the directory structure to Tomcat. Don't set any env vars except JAVA_HOME which should point to the base directory of you're jdk. Run startup.bat in the bin directory of Tomcat from the command line. Once the command line works then start working on the short cuts to start and stop Tomcat. Lance Smith

Hello all, I need some pretty urgent help/assistance with installing tomcat!!! I am trying, specifically, to install the version 4.1.12 of it. I keep on getting a damned error message when I try to start it up in DOS saying that the CATALINA_HOME environment variable is either not properly set OR is just flat missing altogether!!! I still don't know whether to leave in or not the semicolon (;) at the end of each variable in the System applet!! I started out with having it in without any success whatsoever, and then tried leaving it out, still without any success. I am going absolutely "crazy" in trying to do this thing right, lemme tell u. I beleive that I got Tomcat configured properly, the correct way a long time ago--several months ago. And, that time had to have been due to me just flat "lucking out" and dumbly "stumbling into" the right way to get tomcat going. I apologize in advance to anyone in our newsgroup who thinks that they perceive that I have made this same kind of a posting in the past, and probably more than once too. I am really not at all as smart and intelligent as I perceive many others on our group seem to be, I am afraid to say.To whoever responds back to me, I would appreciate it if you could send me all of the environment variables needed to configure Tomcat.
