Hi Keith (response inline) This is supplementary info to Remy's: I think we've both got different set-ups.

My goal was to have multiple instances that I could mess around with, without destroying the "live" (documentation, examples, etc) server. > how did u configure? Must i have more then 1 copy of tomcat? No. I've installed tomcat (4.0.2) on my D: drive (should have said: Windows 2000 Pro, 2 hard-drives with multiple partitions - D: is apps, I: is development) and the various instances on my I: drive: CATALINA_HOME: D:\tomcat\ CATALINA_BASEs: i:\tomcat-servers\server01\ i:\tomcat-servers\server02\ i:\tomcat-servers\server03\ etc Follow the instructions in running.txt for which directories to copy - I'm at work just now (JRun ;-( ) but off-hand I think it's bin, conf, lib & webapps. Within /conf, you need to edit server.xml so the various ports don't conflict. Eg. if the CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml uses port 8080, /server01/conf/server.xml could be 8081 for example. There are three locations in the server.xml which I edited - I don't have the file to hand at the moment, but if you'd like a copy I can post it tonight/tomorrow. Once you've created the directory heirarchy, and edited the server.xml files, you should be able to start your new instances from the command line/shell. I'm lazy, so I just edited the catalina.bat files in /server0x/bin/ to set CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME - again, if you'd like a copy I'll post it tomorrow. > I really dunno... pls help > > Basically, most of the info is in running.txt from your Tomcat install. I found the only real gotcha was that I needed to renumber the ports. Once I'd got that sorted out the rest was plain sailing ;) Best of luck, and if you're still stuck let me know and I'll post files.
