unable to start tomcat4.1.24

[Paridhi Bansal <pa...@mail.com>]

hi all!

i was earlier using tomcat4.0.6...because of better performance and stability in 4.1.24, i am planning to upgrade to tomcat4.1.24...but on installing that from *.zip file , when i try to run startup.sh, it give me the error
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program

My JAVA_HOME variable is same as it was in tomcat4.0.6 and that was working very fine..i tried removing 4.1.24 and reinstalling 4.0.6.It works fine then..What can be the problem???

I don't know 4.0.6, but please make sure that your JAVA_HOME is defined

echo $JAVA_HOME

should output a directory name.

Make sure it exists, and contains a JDK. I believe that a JRE is not enough.

If it is not set, you can do (on bash):

export JAVA_HOME=/right/path/to/your/j2sdk1.4/

And then you launch startup.sh as usual.
