Hello -
I am trying to use tomcat as a standalone container for testing and learning
purposes. I have installed version 4.0 on Windows 2000, but I keep getting
an error on starting up Tomcat. The error is attached below. I tried
changing port 8080 in server.xml. I have also set JAVA_HOME (to C:\jdk1.2.2
[I've this JDK installed, needless to say]), as well as CATALINA_HOME (to
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0). I am also not behind a proxy and have even disabled
my firewall software for good measure. When I try to connect to
http://localhost:8080/ with explorer I get the "cannot find server" error.
If it's of any interest, I have disabled IIS a long time ago, so it no
longer appears as a service in the Services console - i.e., it's not
blocking up port 80. I have read through the doc "A Minimalist User's Guide"
as well as "A Quick Guide to Installing Tomcat on Windows" from devx.com,
and neither of these had an answer for me. Here is the error message:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\bin> startup
