Sorry if you've already done this but it's not clear from your message. Is C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\bin\startup.bat exactly what you've entered? Ie: at the command prompt.
That is C: Cd tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\bin Startup.bat If the above is returning a "can't find this thing" type message then the first thing to check is that it's actually there (typos in the path etc). Alternatively: Have you got your JDK in your path? Ie: PATH=C:\path\to\your\jdk\bin cheers ------------------------------------------------------ Tref Gare Development Consultant Areeba Level 19/114 William St, Melbourne VIC 3000 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: +61 3 9642 5553 fax: +61 3 9642 1335 website: http://www.areeba.com.au ------------------------------------------------------ "This email is intended only for the use of the individual or entity named above and contains information that is confidential.

I have set the JAVA_HOME and the CATALINA_HOME variables and did the ECHO test. When I try to start up Tomcat, I type C:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\bin\startup.bat but I get an error message saying it can not find the path specified. What do I need to type to (a) start the application and (b) shut down the application.?
