I'm installing it on a winxp home, read through some step by step tutorials on the web, but still cant get it going. Basically the have both jre & tomcat installed on C: & set the path right in startup.bat for tomcat but when I double click to on it which will start Tomcat the dos screen pops up & dissapear. I dont have IIS or Apache running when starting Tomcat, just trying to play around with Tomcat. Anybody have the same problem before?
I need some help here, thanks.
I've put into the first line for Startup.bat
set JAVA_HOME = c:\j2\jre\bin
set CATALINA_HOME = C:\tomcat\webapps\ROOT
that are the points that are usually advised in all tutorials.
Any help appreciated.

when I double click to on it

Run it from the command line and see what output it's giving.

Sorry for late reply but silly me, I downloaded the wrong binary file.. should be the .exe rather than the zip version.
Thanks Jake
