Tomcat on Win ME

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded Jakarta-tomcat4.0 beta version. Installed on my desktop (Win NT) and my labtop (Win ME). On my desktop, tomcat is working fine. But it didn't work on my labtop.

On my labtop, under tomcat\bin\ dir I have some more extra files which I don't have in desktop such as tomcat.bat...

When I type in on dos promp :

startup ====>it gave me error, bad command

tomcat====>it gave me error, something about servlet.jar

Does anyone has any ideal, please help!!!

Thankz

Hi TCz28,

Some files and dir's aren't unpacked until Tomcat is run for the first time.

The startup error is very strange, I don't know the solution for that.

The servlet.jar-error comes from the classpath (which doesn't). On NT it works a little different, but on Win'95 your must add SET CLASSPATH=.; %TOMCAT_HOME%\LIB\SERVLET.JAR to your autoexec.bat. The dir %tomcat_home% is mentioned in the Tomcat-docs, but you can replace it with c:\java\jakarta-tomcat-x.x.x-lib, for instance.

Good luck!
