Tomcat 5.5.9 Dos panel

[Vadim]

I loaded Tomcat 5.5.9 on my PC. Now, it do not starts from DOS panel. I use it a lot for debug purposes to output some values or to see what the error occured. Is it any way to change configuration to see this panel? Or is any script that may be used for that purpose?
Thank you

have you checked the log file?

Okay, I will try to see it in log file, but it was very handy to have a console panel like in Tomcat4, where I may add System.out.print() in my JSP and immediately see result.
Now I should go to window explorer, find log file and open it with notepad. That's why I am asking, if there is possibility to have a console panel on Toncat5, staing open, or may be other way go around this problem.

not as far as i know. didnt know there was a console panel in tomcat4!?

going through explorer is part of the advantage of using windows, use unix if you dont want to do all that. ;-)

I expect you installed it as a service.
If you want to run it in a dos console, just navigate to TOMCAT_HOME/bin in a dos console, and type "tomcat5".

Hi sedj, you wrote:

May you elaborate that a little.
Do You mean to add environmental variable or modify some script? where type tomcat5.

Thank you.

Open a dos console.
cd to where you have installed tomcat, then to the bin dir.
type "tomcat5"
