Apache tomcat startup

Question

I am trying to start up the tomcat server throug command prompt, but its showing CATALINE_HOME variable is not set. I have set the variable by going to control panel then also the same error is coming.

If I directly go to starttup.bat file and try to run it, it just blinks and goes. So I tried adding pause command at the end and then when I run I get

using CATALINA _BASE :"C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26"
using CATALINA _HOME:"C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26"
using CATALINA _TMPDIR :"C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\temp"
using JRE_HOME :"C:\programfiles\java\jre"
using CLASSPATH :"C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\bin\bootstrap.jar;"C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.26\bin\tomcat-juli.jar

this is the recent catalog content.

Answer 1

That is problably because the process already run in the background. Call shutdown.bat to stop it if necessary.

Otherwise you should be able to access that manager at http://localhost:8080/html/manager. Before doing that you might need to configure a user/password first then restart tomcat.

See tomcat documentation to learn more about it.

Answer 2

You have to define two variables first

1. Java_Home
2. CATALINA_HOME

Following is the bat file you can use here %TOMCAT_LOC% = your tomcat path (please don't include bin)

echo Stopping Tomcat App Server
cd /D %TOMCAT_LOC%
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\jdk echo java Path
set CATALINA_HOME=%TOMCAT_LOC%
call %TOMCAT_LOC%\bin\shutdown.bat
echo Stopped Tomcat 

Answer 3

you could move to the path containing the batch file (tomcat/bin), and then run the batch file

C:\Users>cd C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin

C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.35\bin>startup.bat
