Hallo, sorry, I thought the settings I was asking for, are valid for all OS.
So, I'm talking about Tomcat 7. According to some description, it doesn't need JDK anymore. For this reason under Windows (7) I didn't set it at the beginning (neither did I install it), so the error came: no JDK nor JRE was set (although JRE was set). I tried to set JDK_HOME to jre6 as well, but the same error message. Only after installing (the latest) JDK, and setting JDK_HOME towards it, I could start Tomcat with the startup.bat.

Which OS, JRE and Tomcat version are you using, which Tomcat distribution (installer or .zip), how are your environment variables set, how do you try to start Tomcat, and what are exact error messages you get (might be on console or log files). Without that, people waste their time making guesses, or worse for you, ignore your questions. -Ognjen On 22.7.2011 12:22, Bobi St wrote: > :) > Well, whats wrong, not to specify JDK_HOME if its not needed ?!? > > or whats wrong in specifying JRE_HOME to jre6 ?!? > --- Konstantin Kolinko<knst.koli...@gmail.com> schrieb am Fr, 22.7.2011: > > Von: Konstantin Kolinko<knst.koli...@gmail.com> > Betreff: Re: Tomcat 7: Why is JDK needed ? > An: "Tomcat Users List"<users@tomcat.apache.org> > Datum: Freitag, 22.
