Couldn't even start tomcat-failure in index.jsp itself.

[Ashutosh Sharma <As...@tavant.com>]

I am new to Tocat. I have configured it to run at port 17080 on my m/c-this
has been asked during the installation of tomcat.
I'm having 4.1.24 of it running on Windows 2000 professional m/c with
jdk1.3.1_02.
This is a very first error i'm getting. Can someone help me out regarding
this.
