hi. need a little help finding the problem with the tomcat setup. here are some printouts for:
this is how the path for jdk is set: PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.3.1\BIN and this is what i get when i type "set": C:\>set TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP PROMPT=$p$g winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS TOMCAT_HOME=C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3 JAVA_HOME=C:\JDK1.3.1 PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\JDK1.3.1\BIN windir=C:\WINDOWS BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6 CMDLINE=netstat -a 2 and this is the error when clicking startup.bat in tomcat: Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Unable to set CLASSPATH dynamically. Note: To set the CLASSPATH dynamically on Win9x systems only DOS 8.3 names may be used in TOMCAT_HOME! Setting your CLASSPATH statically. Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Out of environment space Using CLASSPATH: Starting Tomcat in new window Bad command or file name
Your problem is a common one with Windows98. It is caused by Tomcat trying to set up long environment strings. The fix is to increase the memory allocation as follows: Open a MS-DOS prompt window, click on the upper left corner. open the Properties dialog, click on the memory tab Set the initial environment to 4096 Thats all you need.
