Re: Tomcat stops with error after calling setclasspath.bat
I'm using 6.0.18, which unless they just put out a new version is the latest. I've already turned the echo on. If you look at my first post, I commented what happened in the batch files. I can't see anything that would throw an error. I've enclosed the results of my running catalina start without the echo off statements.

Re: Tomcat stops with error after calling setclasspath.bat
Okay, apparently Tomcat doesn't like my setenv.bat I just copied over a virgin install of Tomcat, and after setting JRE_HOME, it started right up. Then I moved my setenv.bat over and it gave me the same problem. I'm not sure why it doesn't like my setting the JRE_HOME in the setenv.bat The contents of my setenv.bat are as follows. set JAVA_HOME= set JRE_HOME=..\..\jre set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms64m -Xmx256m Tomcat doesn't seem to have a problem with the sets, as I did them before calling startup, and it worked fine. It's just when they're placed in the setenv.bat file. The only thing I can think of is that the setclasspath.bat file can't see the JRE_HOME setting, but I can't see where it throws an error about it.

Re: Tomcat stops with error after calling setclasspath.bat
Nope, doing it all in Windows using notepad. And I've narrowed down the problem. 2k/2k3 doesn't like the following line. set JAVA_HOME= If I don't have a JAVA_HOME variable set, everything works fine. However, I can't guarantee that the JAVA_HOME variable won't be set on every machine. So I need some way to unset it if it's not set. Also, is there a way to differentiate between XP/2k/2k3? They all return OS=Windows_NT. For the time being, I'd like to put in an if statement on that set so it only runs in XP.

Re: Tomcat stops with error after calling setclasspath.bat
Ah-hah! I found the problem! Apparently, if you try to unset an environment variable that's not set, 2k and 2k3 return an error. I added a line setting JAVA_HOME in the setenv file and then when I set JAVA_HOME to nothing, I don't get the error. So now I just need to have it check if JAVA_HOME is actually set before calling set JAVA_HOME= Well, that's some good news. I wonder why it's different than the way XP works. Thanks to everyone who responded.
