I know there is a way to retrieve a short path name from a DOS prompt window, just couldn't record what it shall be. There was not any other path starting with Apache. Anyway, I already switched back to the old installation method, which I have used since the 3.2.x version. As a programmer, I, like you somewhat, used to be very paranoid when I come to software installation. I could easily get very frustrated on installation problems.. 5/3/2002 11:06:50 PM, John Niven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Vernon Wu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >> Sent: 2 May 2002 09:54 >> To: Tomcat Users List >> Subject: Re: The Catalina installation path >> >> >> >> Thanks, Jake for your input. >> >> In fact, I had tried using "Apache~1".
