Im trying to install and run tomcat. Im looking at the directions and typed everything in correctly. Can you guys see what im doing wrong?

I typed in set JAVA_HOME=c:\jkd1.3.1

then I typed set PATH=%PATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\bin

to test to see if I had java installed right I typed in "java -version" and everything was write. When I typed in javac to try and see if the PATH was right I got "javac is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I dont know whats going on. Do any of you guys know? Thanks

Are you sure you set JAVA_HOME to C:\jdk1.3.1 instead of C:\jkd1.3.1?

Uh, is "javac" actually in that directory? Do you see it there in Explorer?

 

[Wizkid]

Try this instead:

PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin ;%PATH%

 

[Plasdom]

add \bin

JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1\bin

I'm sure

Check your install path and set path again. I am sure you make a typo as sigs3gv points out.

why would you want to use tomcat?

why not? Is there something wrong with Tomcat? If he's playing with Java servlets and jsps, then Tomcat is pretty much the defacto standard for that.

OP, you may want to update your JDK to 1.4.2 at least. The different versions of Tomcat may use different versions of the JDK. Tomcat 5.5 for instance will only run on JDK1.5, 5.0 will run on 1.4, and pre 5.0 Tomcat will probably work on 1.4 as well as 1.3, but there aren't any guarantees.

Move %JAVA_HOME% to the front of the %PATH%.
Also make sure that %JAVA_HOME% is defined.
i.e
PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%

The windows path has a limitation of how many characters it can hold.
You will need to open a BRAND NEW dos prompt to validate whether the above gets sourced or not.

If it still doesnt work, type in 'set' or 'path' on the dos prompt to validate your settings in the path.
