Hi Guys , I take the space out ...type command
C:\>set JAVA_HOME=D:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07 (the path of java JDK not JRE ) After that I dragged the catalina.bat file to the cmd.exe C:\>"D:\QQ setup exe\tomcat\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\bin\catalina.bat" I typed "enter" run it ....then it says ... CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly.... Thank you for your help.....
