Re: Starting the apache tomcat 4.05 servlet engine on windows xp

[Jon Wingfield <jo...@mkodo.com>]

Try the binary distribution instead of the source bundle:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-4/archive/v4.0.5/bin/

Either jakarta-tomcat-4.0.5.zip or jakarta-tomcat-4.0.5.exe should be fine.

CATALINA_HOME will probably then be:
C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.5

HTH,

Jon
