Hi,
I have extrated jakarta4.1.29 to c:\TOMCAT41
when i run catalina.bat i get the following error..
"Directory C:\TOMCAT41\bin\..\lib does not exist"
After creating a folder lib in C:\TOMCAT41 the above error is resolved,
but then after starting TOMCAT, when i access the TOMCAT homepage i get the foll error in the browser

HTTP Status 503 - Servlet jsp is currently unavailable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could anyone help me out...

Johnny

I'm wondering if you didn't get a bad download - did you do the MD5 check on the integrity of the file? Are you sure this is the exact msg?

"Directory C:\TOMCAT41\bin\..\lib does not exist"


I say that because my tomcat 4.1.27 and .30 installations don't have any subdirectory to the \bin directory.
Which SDK do you have installed? As I recall there is a different version for SDK 1.3 users.

I am mystified - I have never seen a message like

Directory C:\Tomcat41\bin\..\lib does not exist..........................


but of course I always execute startup.bat instead of catalina.bat.
Did you have any earlier version of Tomcat installed on this machine?
Do you define the JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME environment variables.
Have you tried executing startup.bat instead of catalina.bat?

Hi Bill,
There are no previous installations of Tomcat, I tried using startup.bat
but the results are still the same. Also the env variables are set for
JAVA_HOME & CATALINA_HOME. But still the error msgs persist...

Thanks
John
