Hi,
I'm facing the problem of not able to start my Tomcat 5.5. I've already deinstalled and installed it, but it is still not able to start.
Whenever I click on tomcat5w in bin folder, it stops in the middle, instead of starting completely.
Could anyone please tell me what problem I'm having, and how can I solve it?
are you able to start it from the normal startup.bat command?
Can you include any relevant log file output?
So many things to try
Start TC from a cmd prompt and see if there's an error. Strip down the config files to their bare minimum Look at any log files an at the stdout/stderr files
The first thing I would check though is to see if you have a port conflict anywhere.
Ok I typed startup.bat in C:\Tomcat 5.5\bin path in command prompt, but I'm getting the error as: 'startup.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable progam or batch file.
Given your above comment to phatmanace, it sounds like your PATH does not contain a reference to startup.bat. Run the dir command in C:\Tomcat 5.5\bin and make sure that startup.bat exists and you are typing it correctly. If it does not exist, or you are mistyping it, the OS won't be able to run it.
