Hi

Have been struggling to get to Tomcat's homepage for the past 2 days without any luck..Somebody pls help me figure this out..

My autoexec.bat has the following

set JAVA_HOME=c:\j2sdk1.4.2_05
set CATALINA_HOME=c:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27

I start tomcat from the DOS prompt . It gives a few messages for an instant and then goes away . I have even set the startup.bat to

call "%EXECUTABLE%" run %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

as suggested in the forum to see the output but it just wouldnt STOPPP...

Appreciate the help ....

Do you mean to say that the Command Prompt window that you execute startup.bat from closes?
When you open a command prompt window and type the command "set" (without quotes) do you see the correct JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME values?
Are any files created in the CATALINA_HOME/logs directory?
Exactly how did you install Tomcat - by running the .exe installer or by unzipping a .zip distribution?

Check out the fork variable in configuration files. Your system may be trying to launch two JVMs to run the server, and that has caused a lot of problems for me.
