Well, I am assuming you are using tomcat based on your previous post error with compiling servlet
Did you startup tomcat by executing the startup.bat file located in the %tomcat_home%\bin? After tomcat comes up you should be able to access tomcat's index page through the url http://localhost:8080/. Tomcat uses the port number 8080 by default. This is a good test to see if tomcat is running correctly. Also the index page has several JSP/Servlet examples for you to look at.

What is the error? Can you provide the error? Also are you using port number 8080 for anything else?

error is:

Also one more thing, I noticed you stated on your other post:

I installed tomcat3.3 successfully


How old is that version? That version must be pretty old. That could be one of your problems. I would install one of the latest versions, i.e. Tomcat 4+ or Tomcat 5+(which I believe they started calling it catalina).
Hope this helps.
Craig

Or have one of the moderators move this post to the Apache/Tomcat forum. I am not familiar with the structure of Tomcat3+. That forum may provide you with a better solution to your problems.

This is classpath setting:
set CATALINA_HOME=c:\tomcat
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3
set PATH=c:\jdk1.3\bin;
set CLASSPATH=.;c:\jdk1.3\jre\lib\rt.jar;
set CLASSPATH=.;C:\tomcat\common\lib\servlet.jar;%CLASSPATH%

Dhanashree,
Have you renamed your directory ?? As it must be something like
jakarta-tomcat5.something something.
Also check your log files in tomcat/logs folder,for the exception.
Cheers

I am closing this, as you've asked this question in Apache/Tomcat (the proper forum).

The window flashing on then off quickly has been discussed there many times, so trying searching that forum for "window closes"

Also, be sure IE has 'friendly' error messages turned off.

and finally, read the Tomcat FAQ for 404 errors:
