Try running catalina.bat run (instead of startup.bat) and you should see all messages in the same console window. That way you can see what might be wrong with your server.xml or web.xml file

If Tomcat is already listening to the ports that a new instance would try to listen to, then you would get that behavior. The window would just close. For easier debugging, you might want to open a command prompt and cd to where the tomcat startup batch files are and run them via the command line rather than double clicking the batch files. That way, you should see some error messages in the console. I ran the startup.bat file and got the same behavior. I see results on the screen for a second, then the screen disappears. The shutdown results do stay in the original window. However, I'm getting error message connected with the sshutdown. Here they are: 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 java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:305) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:171) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:158) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:426) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:376) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:291) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:119) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stop(Catalina.java:579) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:402) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.jav a:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessor Impl.j ava:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) What is the cause of this exception?
