Tomcat 3.2.3 web.xml error

[Rogelio]

I have Tomcat 3.2.3 with IIS5.0 on a w2k box. Fresh install.

When I start up the Tomcat startup script I get the following error
immediately. I am a newbie to Tomcat and I haven't made any changes to
web.xml so I do not know why this is erroring out. It's not liking the
web.xml for some reason. There is no output in tomcat.log

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

Roger

Try posting the contents of your web.xml.

Um, I think I see a problem here...
You can't be using \ to end the tags: use /.
That would make this:
<param-name>localDB</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>

Correct the rest of them too.
