Tomcat wont start after installing Windows 2000 Pro

[Jesper <da...@ektv.nu>]

Hello

I have used Tomcat for over a year with Windows XP and everything works great.
Today I was installing Windows 2000 instead of XP and I thought that Tomcat would work great there to, but it did'nt!

I have Tomcat, mySQL and so on on another partion, so when I install a new OS I just run the Tomcat and it all works fine. But after installing Wndows 2000 it wont start!!

I just take a second and I can see a promptwindow saying something about an exception. I goes so fast I can see the hole message. It isnt saved in the log so I don't know what it is. I havent changed anything after the new OS and as I said, this has worked before, but this is the forst time testing Windows 2000 Pro.

The version I use is 4.0.1 and I use Java 1.4.

Please help me with this becaus I am lost right now and I need to put up my server as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Jesper

Hi Jesper,

I would guess your CATALINA_HOME environment variable isn't being set to
point to the directory where you installed tomcat 4.

To catch the errors, make your command prompt window have a scroll buffer
of like 1000 lines and then start tomcat by running the
command "catalina.bat run" in the %CATALINA_HOME%\bin directory.  That
way, you'll at least have an idea what broke...

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dan
