Maybe I am not understanding you.. what is in the tom directory under tomcat folder? the tom subdirectory is a new one in that its never created in regular install..
I think you meant to not have a tom directory within your paths

"Malisun",
Thanks for joining JavaRanch, but could you just take a quick look at the naming policy and edit your profile accordingly.
Also, moving this to the Tomcat forum...
Thanks!

1. You should place a semicolon( ; ) after that %CLASSPATH% to separate it from the D:\ that follows. That way if you didn't include a final semicolon at the end of the CLASSPATH environment value you won't see the last path in the pathname get concatenated into the first post"%" item to their mutual dismay. Too many semicolons won't hurt (unless your environment size is too small anyway!). Too few is trouble.
2. You don't need to (and shouldn't) explicitly mention every Tomcat directory and jar, since Tomcat builds classloaders to handle that kind of stuff. So anything that you added that wasn't in the sample .BAT startup file you downloaded with Tomcat can be safely removed.

hi..i tried what u sd..but the problem persits...here's teh alboration...patience requested!!
Hi..i ve downloaded Tomcat version 4.0.5 frm the apache website
in windows NT workstation 4.0 with JDK 1.2.2 and in windows 98 with JDK1.2.2
these are my systsm variables value in windows 98 where i have installed.
JAVA_HOME=d:\jdk1.2.2
CATALINA_HOME=d:\tomcat
CLASSPATH=d:\jdk1.2.2\bin
PATH=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;d:\jdk1.2.2\bin
Now after installation , when i give startup at the command prompt..i get he following
Using CATALINA_BASE :\tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME :\tomcat
Using CATALINA_TEMDIR :\tomcat\temp
Using JAVA_HOME :\jdk1.2.2
then the prompt reappears. I can see another window flasing but it disappears.
when i give catalina run at the prompt i get the following:

Using CATALINA_BASE :\tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME :\tomcat
Using CATALINA_TEMDIR :\tomcat\temp
Using JAVA_HOME :\jdk1.2.2
Bootstrap:Class loader creation threw exception
java.lang.IllegealMonitorStateException: Current thread not owner.
I went thro the catalina.bat file. It calls startup.bat. Eventually the classpath gets set to
CLASSPATH=d:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar;d:\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar

Using statements that get displayed are frm the catalina.bat file.
I unjarred the bootstrap.jar to find
bootstrap.class in the org/apche/catalina/startup folder. Since
its a class file i cudnt proceed further. Think the Bootstrap eeror
is generated from there. But could be because of other reasons too that i dont know.
I am getting the same error in windows Nt system too.
Maybe u could also forward this to freinds working with tomcat &
its installation and check out.
thanks
PS: does anyone think its cos of JDK1.2.2..but then the tomcat dod clearly says java 1.2 or later version is fine. kinda urgent..help out..
