Thanks Roseanne. Atleast I came to know that i don't need apache.
My startup.bat file is installed in following location
c:\catalina\bin\bin\startup.bat
my java is installed in following location
c:\jdk1.3
I have the following environ ment variable setup
JAVA_HOME = C:\jdk1.3
And lastly when i go to command prompt and type in these command
c:\catalina\bin\bin\startup.bat
i get the following messages :
Using CATALINA_BASE: ..
Using CATALINA_HOME: ..
Using CATALINA_TMPDR: ..\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\jdk1.3
after the one console windows with title "tomcat" comes for about 4 secs and goes away
after that to check if tomcat has started or not i open the browser and type in
http://localhost:8080 i don't get the desired default webpage.
Please advise.
Thanks,
