Tomcat cannot startup via windows form

[perlrulez]

Hi,

I have just installed Tomcat 5, and have set both the CATALINA_HOME
and JAVA_HOME variables correctly. The tomcat boots up only if I run
it from the dos command line, in the bin directory, but not from
Windows when I click the from the startup menu. If I change any of the
environment variables setting, then I cannot start the tomcat via the
DOS prompt, proving that I have set those variables correctly.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Thanks.

Which Windows OS? 98? XP? 2000? 2000 Server?

Have you restarted Windows?

Hi,

I had this problem too, and it turned out to be problem with my Java
SDK install - something to do with a couple of registry entries not
being setup correctly.

Try uninstalling Tomcat, uninstalling your Java SDK and then
reinstalling everything (Java first, obviously).

Worked for me.

Cheers.
