I don't think that the current version of Tomcat works with any JDK less than 1.4. So you may want to get the latest JDK (1.4.2 is the latest I believe).
Give that a try first and then before you start tomcat check that the environment variables are indeed set properly with 'set'. That will list your current settings. Good luck _____________________________________ Atreya Basu Developer, Greenfield Research Inc. e-mail: atreya (at) greenfieldresearch (dot) ca -----Original Message----- From: harpreet kapur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 3, 2003 12:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: reply urgently tomcat installation query !!!!!!! sir/mam i have tried to install tomcat on windows 98 several times and tht mens several timesss actuallly 20 times but i am not able to install it plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz cld u see the error its giving on startup command i ran on command mode and let me know wht RE CHANGES REQUIRED IF ANY??plzzzz help me out I have noone to help me out as none of my aquaintances know java hope someone replies sooon I HAVE GIVEN THE RIGHT PATH AS FAR AS I KNOW I.E. in autoexec.bat file i did the following: set JAVA_HOME =C:\jdk1.2 set CATALINA_HOME = C:\TOMCAT set PATH = %PATH%;C:\jdk1.2\bin;C:\TOMCAT\bin ERROR: C:\Tomcat\bin>startup The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined This environment variable is needed to run this program Using CATALINA_BASE: ..
