Hi Jake, I have effected the modifications as and everything is perfect.
I can now see the Apache Tomcat service running. Thanks for the help. I was wondering though what the JASPER_HOME environment variable is meant to do, as the only thing Tomcat cares about is the CALINA_HOME environment variable. Just being curious...

Also, Tomcat doesn't care about the system classpath. J2EE_HOME is fine to set if you need that for something else. Tomcat doesn't need it. Also, TOMCAT_HOME is for Tomcat-3.x.x and below. CATALINA_HOME is the only variable that Tomcat-4.x.x cares about other than JAVA_HOME. Jake At 12:42 PM 12/23/2002 +0100, you wrote: >Hello Jason, > >My name is Kinsley and I am new to Tomcat.
