Tomcat 3 will not load on Windows 98

[Donald Brewer <db...@optonline.net>]

I am trying to load tomcat 3 on a windows 98 platform.
I have been sitting in this chair for two days now!!! It just will not load.
I generated all this by putting >>hold.txt at the end of the run command in the tomcat.bat file. The DOS windows scroll by and leave me with nothing to look at.

ERROR reading C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.2\conf\server.xml

When I comment out the Coyote Connector lines in conf/server.xml, the next connector down has a problem:

ERROR reading C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.2\conf\server.xml
At Line 287 /Server/ContextManager/Ajp12Connector/ port=8007

When I comment out the Ajp12 lines, this is the output:

ERROR reading C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.2\conf\server.xml
At Line 312 /Server/ContextManager/CoyoteConnector/ processorClassName=org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler port=8009

With those lines commented out of the xml doc, i get this in the main dos window:

but it hangs right there. My process analyser does not see anything but the java window, http://localhost:8080/ is not available


Got any ideas? I need Tomcat to study JSP for the next round of interviews. I am an out-of-work programmer. HELP ME PLEASE.
