um.... you are cd'ing to a file, not a directory. Of course it can't find the path specified.
If you are currently in CATALINA_HOME, type...
bin\startup.bat

Thank you very much By taking out the spaces when I did C:\>set CATALINA_HOME=C:\jakarta-tamcat-5-bin-20030526
and
C:\>cd %CATALINA_HOME%
I got:
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5-bin-20030526
But now I should be able to startup the Tomcat with CATALINA_HOME\bin\startuup.bat
My prompt is at
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5-bin-20030526> _
but if I type in C:\jakarta-tomcat-5-bin-20030526> cd C:\jakarta-tomcat-5-bin-20030526\bin\startup.bat
I get "The system cannot find the path specified"
Your assistance is appreciated ! Stan
