RE: Tomcat can't start as service

	First, don't sent HTML mail to this list - there are a number of
users who are not able to read these messages, therefore not allowing them
to read your question, much less answer it.

	As is mentioned in the HOW-TO for the service, Tomcat can not be
installed into a directory that has spaces in it.  You need to either
install it with the 8 character directory names (i.e. Progra~1) or move it
to a directory that doesn't contain spaces.

Subject: Tomcat can't start as service 


Dear Sir,

Sorry to bother u, But I have some problem about Tomcat can't start as NT
service. I am a newbie to java and JSP. I follow the instruction to install
JDK 1.3 , apache and tomcat. But When I try to run Tomcat as service. 
I have error message 
"about could not start the tomcat service on Local computer. 
The Service did not return an error. This could be an internal windows error
or an internal service error.
If the problem persists, contact your system administrator"

and I checked my logs file 
the jvm.stderr have message 
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
"Group\tomcat\classes;G:\Apache
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Group\tomcat\classes;G:\Apache
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Group\tomcat\classes;G:\Apache
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Group\tomcat\classes;G:\Apache"

apache path is G:\apache group\apache
tomcat path is G:\apache group\tomcat
JDK path is G:\JDK1.3

I have set the wrapper.properties in the 
tomcat/conf folder 
 
wrapper.tomcat_home=G:\Apache group\tomcat
wrapper.java_home=G:\JDK1.3

 
but I still can't fix the problem..
is that I have missed something of done something wrong?
 
regards
