RE: How to start tomcat

[Aleksandar Milanovic]

Go to ControlPanel->system->environment and set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to the location of your JDK installation. All this is explained in the tomcat documentation. Environment variables are variables that get passed to programs you run so that they can adjust their behaviour to your machine's configuration. Some environment variables are defined by the operating system, some by applications, others by human users. On Win platform users usually don't have to deal with environment variables unless they work with cross-platform programs.   thx Alex -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Liu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 6:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to start tomcat I have just downlad tomcat.zip and unzip it.
