Hi everyone,

I have tomcat 5.5 on xp. I have jdk1.5. everything was working perfectly.Last week I uninstalled some of the updates (JRE updates) and tomcat has stopped starting.I have again installed jdk1.5 with update 9 and 11,10. my java_home and catalina_home are set properly.
So I am not sure which updates or what I need to make the tomcat work again.. any suggestion?

thanks in advance

Vrunda

Are you seeing errors in the tomcat logs?
They're located under {tomcat install}/logs

does this mean I need jdk1.5.0_06 and jre1.5.0_06?
I already have jdk1.5.0_09?

these versions and numbers are so confusing

It sounds like your JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set properly.

Type:

at a command window and make sure the path returned actually point to your JDKs root directory.

Hey,
It worked out!!!
the tomcat\bin has a tomcat5w.exe file. I don't know what it is, but as I was trying, I clicked on it,it has options for some properties to set. One of these is for Java (JVM),which was set to jre1.5.0_06\bin\client\jvm.dll, so I changed it to the current one that I have (jre1.5.0_11\bin\client\jvm.dll).and it's started working now.

I don't remember changing this setting when I had installed tomcat.
anyways..
thanks for your help though

I ran into the same trouble and found this thread really useful:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5121172&start=0&tstart=0

Adding C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_05\bin to the 'path' environment variable and restarting did the trick for me, but others on the thread mention copying msvcr71.dll from C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin
to C:\winnt\system32 worked.

According to the tread, the issue only seems to occur on WIN2K.
