Hi Vrishali, You might have more luck with the META (at http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/meta/) which uses Maven as it's build system instead of Ant, or the newer version of the TDK (http://www.kiasoft.com/~painter/tdk-2.3_01.tgz).
Did you install ant (a separate install)? Try replacing tdk.home with the full path (like tdk.home = c:/java/tdk-2.3) Could you post the output from running ant? Once ant runs successfully, you have to run '${tdk.home}/bin/catalina.bat start' (on Windows) to start Tomcat. Good luck, David -----Original Message----- From: Vrishali Bobade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday October 8, 2004 1:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ant not running i have loaded TDK 2.2 in my machine. i have read the how-to file for installing TDK 2.2. i made the setting of variables and wrote "tdk.home = .
