Re: My Start and Stop Tomcat windows do not stay up

[AnnWenzel]

I've tried running Catalina.bat and also get the DOS window flickering and 
then closing.  I still get and error message when I run shutdown.  Any idea 
what the error message means? 

C:\Tomcat\Tomcat 4.1\bin>shutdown
Using CATALINA_BASE:   c:\Tomcat\Tomcat 4.1
Using CATALINA_HOME:   c:\Tomcat\Tomcat 4.1
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: c:\Tomcat\Tomcat 4.1\temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       c:\j2sdk1.4.1
Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
