I too use IDEA, but I point IDEA to an installation of Tomcat that I installed manually (downloaded the ZIP file and unzipped it to a folder under C:\)
Does the Tomcat you are using come with IDEA or did you install it? Have you set a CLASSPATH System Environment Variable? Having an incomplete or incorrect system CLASSPATH can cause such problems from my experience. Also, it is really unnecessary to set a system classpath since Tomcat auto detects it. You just need to specify JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME in the envrionment variables and add the bin folder under JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME to the System PATH. Is the Java installation here :C:\p4\javaNT1.5.0 a JRE or is it JDK ? If it is JDK you need to set the JAVA_HOME env variable to point to it. -Rashmi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
