My previously installed Tomcat 4.1 does not run after Installing .NET - help..

[Christian Dadulla]

Hi Anyone,
I first installed Apache Tomcat 4.1 in my PC and developed codes in JSP,Servlet,Beans and it is running perfectly well..
But after installing .NET software, the Tomcat doesn't run anymore.. Please advise, Thanks!

Hi Christian,
I dont know how .Net works! are you sure it does not use the ports used by Tomcat?

And lil more detailed description would help understand the problem.
btw, here is good article about asking questions.

Try to start tomcat from console window.
navigate to tomcat\bin and type startup.bat or something similar.
There you might get an indication whats wrong.

Hi All,
Thanks for all the replies.. Moreover, below are the details of the error when i tried to run the startup.bat in console:

D:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\bin>startup.bat
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
Using CATALINA_BASE: ..
Using CATALINA_HOME: ..
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: ..\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02
The system cannot find the file -Djava.endorsed.dirs=.

Hi !
added info, I also installed IIS 5.0 on my PC to test ASPX pages..
How can I run my Tomcat again properly to test JSPs?
Thanks again!

Hi Christian,
Looks like your JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set properly. Is the jdk installed in C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02? if not you need to change the JAVA_HOME variable value to where the jdk is installed.
and what about the CATALINA_HOME variable?
