win200, IIS, jakarta_tomcat

[progressive]

I'm trying to get tomcat running on my pooter, but not being very succesful.

I've set the class path's and env var's, and run the startup.bat!

When I run the startup.bat file i get this message

Starting Tomcat in new window
The system cannot find the file c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java

A dialog box also pops up saying something similar to second line of that quote.

The file 'c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java' does exsit!!

Any Ideas!!

There's nothing in the documentation about this so I'm pulling my hair out at the moment as according to the docs i need to do this bit before i can configure IIS!!!

I'm kind of guessing here, since I don't run Tomcat, but
Do you have an environment variable called JAVA_HOME?

Is it set to C:\jdk1.3.1\ ?

If so, do you indeed have a directory C:\jdk1.3.1 ?

At a DOS prompt if you type:
dir %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe ,
Do you get the java executable listed?

01/30/2001  10:23a              20,559 java.exe
               1 File(s)         20,559 bytes
               0 Dir(s)   5,090,601,984 bytes free

Hey Progressive,

How's it going with IIS + Tomcat? I'm curious because that might be just the combination that would be useful for me in helping weaning a friend of mine off of ASP and into JSP.

In this environment can you run both simultaneously?

Yes thats right an environmental variable set to JAVA_HOME, and yes I do have the JDK c:\jdk1.3.1\.

This is why it is so anoying the java.exe file is in c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java.exe
The batch file that starts up tomcat says c:\jdk1.3.1\bin\java.exe
Isn't a file

You can download a dll with tomcat that integrates it into IIS (if you can get the thing to startup). Then you start tomcat with a few command line param's and it creates files needed for IIS and some registery entries. I've not got that far yet!

As tomcat won't start

oh oh wait a minute......whoa yippee *jumps around in a frenzy*...
It's workin now guess what it was using.
set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1
I've just tried.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.3.1
success!

Now i need to integrate it with IIS (should be fun)...I'll let you know how I go on cudabean!

Wow once I've got over that hurdle i had IIS running JSP in 5 mins following the tomcat installation instructions!

It works a treat!

Progressive,

I think the earlier problem u had is something related to the PATH right?

Path = bla...bla...;C:\jdk1.3.1\bin;

do you have this? does this solve ur problem?

Yes that's right, i had a c and what it needed to be was a C !
