Need help w. Tomcat Installation
Hello all, this is steve burrus.I am an admitted Tomcat "newbie" user, and I
find
myself in need again of some advice from someone/somebody about just how the hell
do you first install tomcat??! I am trying to install Tomcat 4.0.4, and I get
everything alright EXCEPT for getting an error msg. in DOS when I try to start it
up saying that the JAVA-HOME environment isn't properly set!!! I know that I have
set it in the "System" applet correctly!! I am using Win XP. Oh, and one more
thing: Is there any new version of tomcat beyond v. 4.0.4?

In your mail, Steve, you wrote "JAVA-HOME". Make sure you're using "JAVA_HOME".

In both Unix and Windows (at least NT, 2K and XP), each process carries
it's own environment internally. A newly created process "inherits" its
initial environment from the process that created it at the time it is
crated. After that, changes in the system-wide or parent process's
environment do not affect that of any already running process--only that
process itself can change its environment.

Only development releases. This is made clear (and kept up-to-date) on the
Tomcat home page <http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html>.

Make sure you have j2sdk installed
Right click on My Computer
Go to Properties
Click on Advanced Tab
Click on Environment Variables at the bottom
Under system variables, click New
Variable Name: JAVA_HOME
Variable Value: C:\j2sdk..... Wherever your root sdk installation is
Note, if you already have a console window open, you will need to close
it and open a new one to get the updated system variable (I don't know
why, it just does).

Of course... try looking at jakarta's home page, it reads at the top
"15 August 2002 - Tomcat 4.1.9 Beta Released"
