I don't know if I'm duplicating a bug here. Can't say that I'm understanding
how to search on the bug tracker....
These are the steps I went through to get Tomcat 4.0.1 installed and running on
my system:
I installed JDK 2 v1.3.1_01 on my system at c:\java\jdk1.3.1_01. The JRE
automatically installed at c:\program files\javasoft\jre\1.3.1_01.
I then ran the Tomcat 4.0.1 installation package. It refused to run, telling me
that it couldn't find any JDK installed on my system.
I uninstalled 1.3.1, thinking there might be some sort of incompatibility there.
I installed 1.3.0_04 (c:\java\jdk1.3.0_04). Ran the Tomcat install. Same
result. Okay. Weird.
I uninstalled 1.3.0_04 and reinstalled it under c:\java\jdk1.3.0. It still
automatically installed the the JRE under c:\program
files\javasoft\jre\1.3.0_04. Ran Tomcat installer--success! It installed
completely. Now, I tried to run the service. No success. Tried to run "Tomcat
start" program. No success. Hmm.
Okay. I changed the target java executable from the JRE directory to
c:\java\jdk1.3.0\bin\java. Ran "Tomcat start". Hey! It works!
So, it appears there is some sort of problem with an underscore in the path.
Seems kinda bizarre to me, but that's all I could figure out.
