Tomcat 4.0 Configuration

I am getting the following error message, when I start Tomcat 4.0 server from Tomcat's bin directory.
---------------------------------------------------
C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-m5\bin>startup
Using CLASSPATH: ..\bin\bootstrap.jar;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;\lib\tools.jar
Cannot find file 'c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;\bin\java' (or one of its
components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct
and that all required libraries are available.
----------------------------------------------------
It looks like the error is related to JDK1.2.2 But I could't find out the problem.
The following is my autoexec.bat file
----------------------------------------------------
C:\PROGRA~1\NETWOR~1\MCAFEE~1\SCAN.EXE C:\
@IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE
@echo off

REM To make a DOS Boot Diskette; See the file C:\DOSBOOT\DOSBOOT.TXT
path C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.2.2\bin;
set CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar;
set TOMCAT_HOME=c:\tomcat;
doskey/insert
@REM SetPower.exe will initialize the USB Keyboard.
@c:\windows\system\setpower.exe
-----------------------------------------------------
Please help me
Thanks

Modify Autoexec.bat to have Java Home set to jdk1.2.2 not bin

Thanks for your reply.
It worked!! But, I have another issue.
After the startup, the second window pops-up and after few seconds it closes automatically.
What can I do now??
Thanks
Balaji

I would first replace this line in your autoexec.bat file
set CLASSPATH=c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar;
with the line:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\jdk1.2.2\lib\tools.jar
- add %CLASSPATH%; in the beginning and then
- remove the semi-colon at the end of the line.
hope this works.

No. It is not working. I made the following the change to startup.bat file to find out the problem. (to prevent the execution of second DOS window, I commented out the 'start' in startup.bat file)
rem "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina" start %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\catalina" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
Then I realized that it is expecting some parameters and I tried the follwoing one.
C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0-m5\bin>startup run
After trying with the above command, I am getting bunch of errors. I am reaaaaaally going mad about this tomcat setup.
Can someone help me to fix this problem.

If I use startup without any parameters, I am getting the following error message.

Can someone help me to fix these problems???

I also got this problem, instead of using :\>tomcat start, use :\>tomcat run (Running it in the same window).

I tried that also. If I try to run in the same window, I am getting set od errors, Which I listed in one of my previous postings (Scroll up)
If I run in the same window - set of errors
If I run in different window - set of errors and the window closes automatically.
Any comments???

Balaji:
there are a few things I can suggest.......
(also, this is from what I have seen from other
posting here for tomcat help and my own experience.)
tomcat may run into a memory issue
To get arround this, use the properties from the
MS dos window and set the memory to a high value
say select from the drop down menu
window pops-up and dies
From what I have seen, this could happen for more than
one reason.
Check the TOMCAT_HOME and JAVA_HOME definition.
Then the tools.jar in the CLASSPATH.
Tomcat may not be installed properly.

While the above are just some of the many thing that can go
wrong, pl note that you might have done eveything correct.
One of the BEST ways to get help is from the USers
Guide which comes with your copy of tomcat. Generally
you can find it at the following URL:
TOMCAT_HOME\doc\uguide\tomcat_ug.html
The other document which will be helpful is:
TOMCAT_HOME\doc\appdev\index.html for developing
applications.
Also, note that the users guide includes common pitfalls
and how to avoid them. Personally, I would not go around and
change the original conf settings.

Thanks for your reply.

I made several attempts to fix the problems with Tomcat 4.0. All my efforts are ended in vain. Finally, I tried with Tomcat 3.2.1, it is working perfect and I am able to run Servlets examples.!!!
I will take a look at the user guide to find out where I made a mistake with 4.0
Thanks guys for your help.

One thing I have noticed is that in an effort to improve the
funcationality a lot of changes are going on and each release
may need a little tweaking in the config. for obvious reasons.
Also, config for Tomcat 3.1 was a little different from v3.2
So IMHO, its always helps when you read the UG.
Anyways good to know that you could get started.

Hi.
This is just a thought becuase i had a similair error.
Did you download the LE(lightweight edition) version of tomcat 4. This version apparently does not come with the jndi and xml parser files required. Try to download a verison of tomcat that does end in LE.
Just a thought though not 100% sure it will work.
Cheers

Sorry forgot to add.
If you update to version 1.4 of the java sdk the files are present there this is why they are not in tomcat 4 but if you want to use j2sdk1.2 you will need to download full edition of tomcat.
