Cannot start Tomcat

[sahin sarkar]

Hi,

But now I am trying to start tomcat by using this command inside the bin directory startup. But it is not starting. Instead it is showing the error

The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program

Earlier, my CATALINA_HOME was D:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.9; (not working on this also)

And now it is D:\apache-tomcat-8.0.9-windows-x64\apache-tomcat-8.0.9\bin;

The interesting thing is that earlier it worked but now it isn't. I also restarted the system but to no effect.

Please help someone.

Thanks in advance

Remove the \bin from the end of that entry. The home directory is usually the topmost directory of the application.

Remove the semicolon from the end of your path variable definition statement.
