RE: HELP!!!

[Randy Layman <ra...@aswethink.com>]

	Instead of running startup.bat, try running tomcat.bat run.  This
will let you see the contents of the window that opens and closes very
quickly.  

	The mostly likly thing, though, is that the Win98 machine is getting
an Out of Environment Space (or something like it).  You can make this go
away by editing one of the properties of the DOS window.  (Right click in
the title bar, select properties).  I don't remember the exact thing to
change, but its labeled something like environment space.  Try setting this
to something large (like 2048).

hi guys! i need your help ... desperately ...

my friend is installing jakarta tomcat 3.1.1.
we've followed the installation instructions:
	
*	Download the zip/tar.gz/whatever file from
<http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html>. 
*	Unzip the file into some directory (say foo). This should create a
new subdirectory named "tomcat". 
*	Change directory to "tomcat" and set a new environment variable
(TOMCAT_HOME) to point to the root directory of your Tomcat hierarchy. 
			On Win32 you should type: 
			"set TOMCAT_HOME=foo\tomcat" 
			On UNIX you should type: 
			for bash/sh "TOMCAT_HOME=foo/tomcat ; export
TOMCAT_HOME"
			for tcsh "setenv TOMCAT_HOME foo/tomcat" 
*	Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to the root
directory of your JDK hierarchy, then add the Java interpreter to your PATH
environment variable. 
and in a book, it said that to check if the installation was successful,
open a browser and type in the URL the server name and port 8080.this should
bring us to the default tomcat homepage.
it didn't work on her machine. i tried it on mine and it worked.
i've win NT 4.0 and she has win 98. webmaster@jakarta.apache.org told me it
should work properly on win 98.
everytime my friend tries to execute the startup batch file in command
prompt, it just displays the classpath, opens another msdos window very
quickly and goes back to c: prompt. with mine, it kept the second msdos
window open.
is there something else we should do since she's got a diff operating
system?
any suggestions?
thanks!!!
