Hi Martin, This is my startup.bat. Here it is doing the job of setting the CATALINA_HOME if it is not defined and calling CATALINA.bat.. I can find JAVA_HOME ENV variable found in many places in CATALINA.bat. But i can find any JAVA_HOME variable in the list of environment variables or in any of the scripts .( which is assigning a value for it)
rem Guess CATALINA_HOME if not defined if not "%CATALINA_HOME%" == "" goto gotHome set CATALINA_HOME=. if exist "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat" goto okHome set CATALINA_HOME=.. :gotHome if exist "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat" goto okHome echo The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly echo This environment variable is needed to run this program goto end :okHome set EXECUTABLE=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina.bat rem Check that target executable exists if exist "%EXECUTABLE%" goto okExec echo Cannot find %EXECUTABLE% echo This file is needed to run this program goto end :okExec rem Get remaining unshifted command line arguments and save them in the set CMD_LINE_ARGS= :setArgs if ""%1""=="""" goto doneSetArgs set CMD_LINE_ARGS=%CMD_LINE_ARGS% %1 shift goto setArgs :doneSetArgs call "%EXECUTABLE%" start %CMD_LINE_ARGS% :end Regards, Thangavel Sankaranarayanan Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> To Tomcat Users List 10/17/2008 07:30 <users@tomcat.apache.org> PM cc Subject Please respond to RE: JAVA_HOME is not found but "Tomcat Users tomcat is running. possible? List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] che.org> doesnt sound right ..here is an excerpt from setclasspath.sh # Make sure prerequisite environment variables are set if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -a -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then # Bugzilla 37284 if $darwin && [ -d "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home" ]; then export JAVA_HOME="/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Home" else echo "Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME environment variable is defined" echo "At least one of these environment variable is needed to run this program" exit 1 fi fi if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" -a "$1" = "debug" ]; then echo "JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK in order to run in debug mode." exit 1 fi if [ -z "$JRE_HOME" ]; then JRE_HOME="$JAVA_HOME" fi As you can clearly see you will need to have either JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment vars set before executing Since all of this is conjecture and speculation..do you have the source for tomcat.exe so we can find out whats going on?
