When I try to start Tomcat 4.0 I am getting the following error messages:

I am using Win 2000(prof) and my PC is connected to LAN. but I am installing Tomcat on my own PC as stand alone.
I have set up all the parms as:
CATALINA_HOME : D:\Tomcat4
JAVA_HOME: D:\jdk1.3
CLASSPATH: D:\Tomcat4\common\lib\servlet.jar
What I am missing ?

A search of this forum for "Address in use" produced (among others) the following post:

What I didn't mention in that earlier post was that if it's not Tomcat, then something else on your system is already using the port. Change the port to something else in Tomcat's configuration file.

Thanks MIKE..... that did it.
I went in Control Panel -> Adimn Tools -> Services
and there it was Tomcat set to automatic startup.
I changed the properties to manual and it worked.
Thanks again.

By any chance is your jsp called hello.jsp and not Hello.jsp?

When I try to start Tomcat 4.0, I got the following error.
--
You must set JAVA_HOME to point at your Java Development Kit installation
--
Then I issue the following command at DOS-Prompt
set JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.0
but still the same problem,
Can somebody help...
TIA

Hi there,
I believe you need to have the tools.jar in your classpath.
I have a problem too. I am trying to run the tomcat 4.x on a RHL7.2 m/c. Everything is fine (i have the necessary regxp/servletapi/xerces libs in place, or Atleast I guess so). whenever I start the tomcat It starts without any issues. But I am not able to get anything in my browser?
any light on this part?
thanks in advance
cheers and regards
Ravee.

Problem is Solved.
How? I re-install Tomcat 4. I have upgraded the JDSk from 1.3 to 1.4 and since then it was a problem. I think Tomcat put the hooks in the JSDK and once you upgrade it doesn't recognize the new libraries (eventhough i chnaged them all the Parms). Anyway thanks guys.
