           Summary: Tomcat server doesnt startup due to whitespace in
                    installation directory
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.9
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: duttbobba@gmail.com


I installed Tomcat 5.5.9, and it would never startup inspite of several
restarts/shutdowns or even a reboot of the machine. Finally, after a deep google
search and long reads through forums, someone reported that there might be a
problem if there was a white-space in the installation directory. I had chosen
the default place during the installation, which was the "C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5.9" folder. 

After a lot of frustration, I uninstalled the installation, and did a fresh
start at E:\Soft\Apache\Tomcat5.5.9, I didnt want to take any chances with any
white-space, and it worked beautifully.

Please treat this matter very seriously, as the default installation itself
seems to give me a problem.

Dutt.

Win 2000,
Tomcat 5.5.9
