John, I have tried your suggesions but I think the problem is the path to Tomcat.
I am using Windows XP and the command promp automatically defaults to C:\Documents and Settings\Go For It Web Design>, it doesn't recognise C:\ as a valid command. How can I get around this as Tomcat is installed under C:\Tomcat?.
