Sorry Suresh, I forgot to put this in the last reply. Does the user you are trying to start Tomcat have admin privs? You might be trying to access something the account isn't permissioned for. Real basic, no wonder I didn't think of it before. Try doing this as the administrator.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, as administrator I suggest the following if after you change your environment variables and it still doesn't work. This may seem redundant but I've gotten downloads messed up before. 1) Remove the current C:\Tomcat directory. 2) Download a Tomcat binary. 3) Reinstall Tomcat. 4) From the add/remove programs remove the j2sdk. 5) Download another j2sdk and install it. 6) Try starting Tomcat. -----Original Message----- From: Hassan Schroeder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2004 3:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Unable to start tomcat server Suresh Akula wrote: > I am trying to run my tomcat server but am not able to do.

I think that's probably the root of your problem. Suggestion: delete all the Tomcat stuff you can find and reinstall from scratch, preferably from a tar file, but at the least install directly into C:\tomcat. Don't move *anything*. *Do* remove all the classpath settings you made. You don't need them if CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME are set correctly. Then try -- again -- running *catalina.bat run* from a cmd window and see what happens. -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
