Help with starting Tomcat
Hello. Using Tomcat 3.2.1. I've set the environment variable for TOMCAT_HOME (I think), but I'm not sure how to set the environment variable for JAVA_HOME. My jdk's root directory is installed at the following directory on my W98SE platform: c:\jdk1.3.0_02. Therefore, this is what I did to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. At the DOS c:\ prompt, I typed: "c:\set JAVA_HOME=jdk1.3.0_02" then pressed enter. Then, when I go to execute "startup.bat" in the tomcat\bin directory, I get the message "invalid command or file". But, when I'm in Windows Exployer and double-click on startup.bat, I get a DOS window message: "You must set JAVA_HOME to point at your Java Development Kit installation". Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Re: Help with starting Tomcat
To set the JAVA_HOME golbally you should put the set in the autoexec.bat file. Or you could do it in the command prompt as yopu were tring to do. Except add the 'c:\' set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.0_02 And then to run the bat file from the command prompt just type startup - no '.bat' Good luck, ss - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 06, 2001 2:42 PM Subject: Help with starting Tomcat Hello.

Re: Help with starting Tomcat
Hi: Try this: set JAVA_HOME in the tomcat.bat file, not start.bat. Add the line set JAVA_HOME = path\to\your\jdk Add it immediately below the last of the "rem"'d statements so it's not caught in some subroutine. save your changes to tomcat.bat, and then double click start.bat. that should do the trick, but as always, YMMV. good luck, Michael Tiffany Hello.
