I've looked through the archives but couldn't find anything. The running.txt file that comes with Tomcat lists only 3 possibilites for why it doesn't work. I've tried changing the port number, I'm using Windows XP so the environment issue doesn't apply and I'm pretty sure that I'm not behind a proxy as I am using my own PC at home. I'm pretty sure the JDK is installed ok as I can run javac. I tried changing JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME to incorrect values and that made things worse so I'm sure they are set correctly. I've tried 2 versions of Tomcat 4.0.1 and 4.1.29. When I startup 4.0.1 I get the messages " Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 Starting service Tomcat-Apache Apache Tomcat/4.0.1 " which are correct according to my book. Can anyone say what the problem is, or any ways to debug it? It should run on a standalone home PC shouldn't it? I don't need to be connected to a LAN or anything do I? I've been trying to solve this for 2 weeks now so I would really appreciate any help please. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tomcat-user-unsubscribe@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: tomcat-user-help@jakarta.apache.org
