Win98 installation problems

[Marius Tulcan <ma...@unisys.unisys.ro>]

Hello everybody!

I want to learn JSP so I started with jGuru's course; downloaded the Tomcat 3.1 binary, unzipped it, followed the install procedures from the course, but the Tomcat doesn't seem to work.
What I get when I try to run startup is:
 
Starting tomcat in new window
Using classpath: C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat\classes;C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat\lib\webserver.jar;C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat\lib\jasper.jar;C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat\lib\xml.jar;C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat\lib\servlet.jar;c:\progra~1\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar
 
After this it does open a new window with a message in it, but I can't read it, as it immediately shuts it.
Reading the .BAT files, I guessed that it stops at the following
 
start java %TOMCAT_OPTS% -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" org.apache.tomcat.startup.Tomcat %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
 
The JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME variables are:
TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Progra~1\jdk1.2.2\jakarta-tomcat
JAVA_HOME=c:\progra~1\jdk1.2.2

I have a Win98SE machine, with JDK 1.2.2 .
I would really appreciate any help or hint, as I'm quite confused.
 
Thanks in advance,

Hello Marius,

If you remove the leading "start" command from the line

	start java %TOMCAT_OPTS% -Dtomcat.home="%TOMCAT_HOME%" ...

tomcat will be started in the same window and you can read all
error-messages.
