Unable to start tomcat server

[jagadeeshtata]

Hi All,

I'm doing tomcat configuration for the first time. I'm unable to start
tomat server.
What are the mandatory configuration steps.
It populated following error

EmbededTomcat: error creating module

You set JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME to the correct values?
You have a JRE or a JDK?
You used $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup to start Tomcat?

I was installing Tomcat for the first time yesterday (3.3.2) and today
(6.0.10) on Windows (with which I have very little experience) and it
worked almost straight out of the box...

You set JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME

or CATALINA_HOME
