Vishal: go through the batch file (.bat) and add PAUSE followed by and enter after the tomcat or java command to see their responces. Batch filesare just a series of DOS command made to run in order. It has a GOTO statments and enviorment vars for varibles. The %1 %2 %3 represent the first command line argument, the soncond, and the third. It has if statments. Just follow it throug and add some pauses, that'll cuase it to wiat for you to press a key alowing you to see the error messages.
The second command prompt window is called through the first batch fil through the CMD command. Look for the CMD or other betch files and add pauses to those files. It's calling another command prompt to free the one you in when Tomcat starts. This second command prompt is probably giving an error like "Port already in use" or something else. Adding the pause will allow you to see these errors.

I set jdk and catalina path. I open a command prompt, move to the bin directory of tomcat. I run startup.bat. It opens another prompt that vanishes in seconds. I dont see anything wrong (warning or error message) at original command prompt. I move to localhost in browser. Nothing loads up on browser ! How do i know whether tomcat has really started or not ? (I tried to look at services running, it does not show up there) I tried to see log floder, but it is just empty. I tried to run shutdown bat file. It says, connection not found ! Does it help in answering my question? I am using Windows XP Operating System.
