i think,you need to set PATH,JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME and in very rare cases CLASSPATH variable

[Samanthi perera]

what are the values for that 4 variables

[Bear Bibeault]

All you need to set is JAVA_HOME. And I cannot tell what to set it to. Depends on where you down-loaded Java to.

There is no "TOMCAT_HOME" environment variable. If you set one, Tomcat won't look at it. We use that term a lot, but it's technically inaccurate, as the actual variable names are CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE. Usually, both of these variables have the same value, unless you're using a common Tomcat binary to run multiple Tomcat servers.

Bear is correct. Only JAVA_HOME needs to be set. Tomcat can determine the default values for all the other settings.
