Re[2]: Still need help w. Tomcat installation

Steve,

JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables should *NOT* have a
semicolon in them, just the full path itself (with no spaces...which
means Tomcat should be installed in a path with no spaces like
c:\Tomcat-4.1.10).  The semicolon is used by PATH and CLASSPATH
environment variables to delimit each entry in the respective
variable.  You don't need to worry about that.

help getting up and running

Posted by "Grant C. Peters" <gr...@earthlink.net>.
I have uninstalled my working tomcat 3.2.3 in favor of tomcat 4.1 (so that I
could upgrade my jdk/jre to 1.4) and it is not loading classes properly, the
classes in %CATALINA_HOME%\examples\WEB-INF\classes are not found nor are
the classes in %CATALINA_HOME%\lib or anywhere else they are supposed to be,
I have set my %CATALINA_HOME%\ env var to the correct location, I am running
tomcat on win2k pro
Please help
thanks
