setting up Tomcat on win98
sorry for this simple question.
i am a trying to set up the Tomcat server on a win98 system.
But whenever i try to start the server running, i keep getting the:
"You must set JAVA_HOME to point at your Java Development kit
installation" error message.
MY Jdk is installed at "d:\jdk1.3.1"
My Tomcat is installed at "d:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2"
In my autoexec.bat, i have set:
"path =d:\jdk1.3.1\bin"
In the folder d:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2, i have kept a bat file:
set TOMCAT_HOME = d:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2
set JAVA_HOME = d:\jdk1.3.1
bin\startup
The problem is whenever i run the above bat file, the error message will
appear.
This is maddening and hair-pulling!
would appreciate any help.

HI :
place following line at top of your startup.bat
set TOMCAT_HOME=d:\Tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2
set JAVA_HOME=d:\jdk1.3.1
It should work
Regards,
Hemant

See the attached html file that explains how to install tomcat on win 98 in
the most simple terms. I had a tough time installing and eventually found
this on the web.
