How to set JAVA_HOME
HI, can someone please assist me in configuring the tomcat 4.0.3 Server? First off, is
JAVA_HOME synonomous with the CATALINA_HOME environment variable or not? I have received a
DOS error when I tried to activate Tomcat that says that there was something wrong with how
I had the JAVA_HOME variable set. I really don't "get it". Can someone please help me
out?! Steve Burrus

Re: How to set JAVA_HOME
Posted by Ravishankar S <ra...@ionidea.com>.
ok steve,
here is a step by step check..try this..
1.if u have set the JAVA_HOME env variable..check if XP needs a restart..if
so restart for the env var's to take effect(autoexec.bat needs a restart as
far as i know..not so sure abt XP's env var's....)
2.open a cmd window and cd C:\Java\<tomcat home>\bin
3. now type startup and see the error messages....if any
4.verify if the "port " element in conf\server.xml is 8080..here's a copy of
my tomcat 4.0.3 server.xml ...
<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector"
port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>
5.some other webserver like IIS maybe running..stop it or change the tomcat
port to say 8015...IIS runs by default on 80 i believe..
6.now try http://localhost:8080 or whatever port no u set in server.xml
aliter http://127.0.0.1:8080
or
http://<ur machine name>:8080
regs,
ravi

RE: How to set JAVA_HOME
Posted by jon wingfield <jo...@mkodo.com>.
remove the trailing slash from JAVA_HOME. The setclasspath.bat file in the
tomcat bin directory assumes no trailing slashes on any of the environment
variables (as do startup.bat, catalina.bat etc).
Hope this helps,
Jon

Ravishankar S, this is Steve Burrus, and I appreciate and thank you for
trying to
help me earlier. In response to your question, my operating system is:
Windows
XP, and so all of the various environment setting are made not in the
autoexec.bat file--which was the case in previous versions of Windows--but
in the
System Control Panel applet. I just now set the JAVA_HOME setting for
"C:\Java\jdk1.3.1_03\". You see, I created earlier the Java folder to hold
all 3

J2SDKEE,
and of course the Tomcat Server files.
Why in the hell, after I think that I have successfully set up tomcat, when

the
damn browser thinks, rather ridiculously, that I am doing a search and then

Steve,
what is ur OS???if it's Windows then
open a DOS window and type set JAVA_HOME=<path to jdk root>(for ex
C:\jdk1.3.1)
if it's UNIX/LINUX then
set JAVA_HOME=<path to jdk root> in either /etc/profile for all users or
edit .bashrc/.cshrc for a particular user..
hope this helps,
ravi

CATALINA_HOME is where Tomcat 4.x is installed, ie startup.sh runs from $CATALINA_HOME/bin.
JAVA_HOME is where the Java SDK is installed, ie javac runs from $JAVA_HOME/bin.
