The command prompt output says:
When you say "Windows informed my that tomcat server started up" where do you see that message?
A second MS-DOS prompt appears, describing the tomcat startup process, ending with the statement:
There are some exceptions, regarding log access denial. There are too many lines displayed. I can't make sense of them.
I defined JAVA_HOME to my jdk base directory already, as I just verified with the User Account under Windows.

Are you sure "localhost" is defined on your computer?
How do you check?
Can you see the tomcat task running in the windows Task manager?
Under the "Applications" of the task manager, I can see "Tomcat" application with Status "Running", but I cannot find it under the "Processes" tab.
I recommend setting CATALINA_HOME anyway.
I did, as the output showed earlier.
Last time similar things happened when I use tomcat 6. The problem I had went away after I stepped down to tomcat 5.5. I am using 5.5 now, and I think I am doing everything right (as I have set up tomcat before).
I appriciate for any help you can give.
