How to diagnose Tomcat crash
I am trying to run tomcat 4.1.12 on Win98. However part way through startup an exception is thrown and the task shuts down. Unfortunately I cannot tell what the exception is because the DOS window in which it is displayed closes immediately without giving me the opportunity to read the message and there is nothing in the logs directory except for a log recording the startup of the Examples context.
Where can I look to see what went wrong?

If you open a dos window and type "catalina run" in the tomcat bin
directory it will start in the same window and so you will be able to see
the exception. Normally it is a Java exception related to environment
vars when loading tomcat so it would not be logged anyway.
Hope this helps,

Thank you all for your suggestions. The problem is resolved.
I suppose this is not an issue on UNIX, but I would suggest that Tomcat
should write the exception stack trace to a log file rather than, or in
addition to, the console window.

If you run it from a command prompt instead of double-clicking on the file,
you will get the stack trace...
Cheers,
