Tomcat ignores CLASSPATH (have a look at startup.bat to see what

Thanks! [WAS] RE: Help! Can't install Tomcat

[Hewko, Doug]

Andrew and Raphale,

Thanks for the help! I changed my JAVA_HOME from c:\jdk1.3.1\lib to
c:\jdk1.3.1 and now the JS scripts work. So I assume Tomcat is set up
properly...

The Tomcat home page comes with links to several example JSP and Servlets.  
Do those work?

 This may or may not help, but I think you need to append
 c:\jdk1.3.1\jre\bin to your PATH.  It looks like it's missing the Runtime
 Environment.  Just make sure that somewhere in one of the PATHS you have
 the JRE.

 This is what My PATH looks like on a Windows 95 machine With Tomcat
 3.something installed
 PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\PERSON~1;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\WINDOWS\UTILS;C:
\PSM;C:\WNETFIN;C:\JDK13;C:\JDK13\BIN;C:\NOTES;C:\JDK13\JRE\BIN;C:\JAVASOFT\
JRE\BIN;

 Put the JRE in your path and restart Tomcat.
 This may or may not help you specifically, but it can't really hurt to try.

   What am I doing wrong? I am not a system administrator, so please be
   patient. I just want to install Tomcat so I can install Cocoon2 and do

 some

   XML programming. Help!
