Tomcat4.0.1 not running

[mvt]

Hi,

I have downloaded Tomcat4.0.1 from the net. Am trying to configure the server to run.

My directory structure after unzipping the zip file from jakarta site is like this

C:\Tomcat\tomcat This directory has subdirectories catalina, jasper, lib, resources, service, tester, webapps.

Then the catalina directory has three subdirectories - src, etc, docs.

Then src has got bin, conf, test and share.

I have created an environment variable CATALINA_HOME, which points to

C:\Tomcat\tomcat

Have created JAVA_HOME also

In the running.txt file with Tomcat, it says in order to startup do the below steps

* Via an environment variable: - Set an environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the path of the directory into which you have installed Tomcat 4.0. - Execute the shell command: %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup (Windows)

This does not make sense according to the directory structure I have. CATALINA_HOME does not have any directory 'bin' inside it. The bin directory for me is under catalina/src.

Whatever it is, I tried starting the server by double clicking startup.bat and it is not starting.

Can somebody please help me with this?

Thankyou

Did you download the binary or the source? If you downloaded the source, you will have to build the application before you can use it.
