Dim,
Thanx a mil!!! I removed Tomcat & JRE. I then installed the full JSE and
then Tomcat. I ran "tomcat run" and guess what? It worked. You don't know
how good that made me feel. But, I'm sure that I'll be asking more
questions as I forge ahead. Many thanx!

Subject: Re: FW: newbie: Starting Tomcat
You tried Jim's suggestion of removing the test.war as well as the test
directory. Maybe some background might help you: When tomcat starts
up, it looks in the directory %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps and any directories
or war files it finds it will attempt to create a context for. THat is
what the following says:
> > > 2001-06-12 04:16:19 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /test )
So if you have removed the test.war and the test directory, and then
restarted, you shouldn't see that error. Can you confirm for me that
the command
dir %TOMCAT_HOME%\webapps\test*
doesn't find any files or directories? If that doesn't find anything,
and you still get the above output from the startup, then something odd
is happening and I think the best bet would be to delete the entire
tomcat install and start from scratch.
hope this helps
