I am having similar problems with Tomcat. I have been running Apache for
sometime without problems. I downloaded Tomcat 3.2, followed the
directions, and had the same "flashing" experience stated here.
I edited the tomcat.bat file and added the -verbose option to the runServer
command. This results in the following:
------------------- RESULTS ---------------------------
D:\Tomcat\bin>tomcat run
Including all jars in d:\Tomcat\\lib in your CLASSPATH.
Using CLASSPATH:
d:\Tomcat\\classes;d:\Tomcat\\lib\ant.jar;d:\Tomcat\\lib\jasper
.jar;d:\Tomcat\\lib\jaxp.jar;d:\Tomcat\\lib\parser.jar;d:\Tomcat\\lib\servlet.ja

------------------- END RESULTS ---------------------------------
Does this help anyone solve the problem? Conflicting java
classes? Missing jar files?
Thanks
