CATALINA_HOME env variable?

[johnnykrisma]

I'm trying to get LPS running on my WINXP machine. I installed the J2SE 1.42 SDK and installed LPS. When i try to run the startup.bat script, i get "the CATALINA_HOME environmental variable is not defined correctly. This environmental variable is needed to run this program" It was my understanding that the script itself set that variable, but I tried setting it manually, but it still threw the same error.

thanks.

Which startup.bat script are you referring to? The startup script that I have in my Start menu is called startTomcat.bat.

-Antun

in the docs it said this:

You can diagnose Tomcat startup failures by getting to a DOS prompt and running the startup script by hand as
yourInstallationDir\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12\bin\catalina.bat run

so that's what i did. I'm thinking my issue is tomcat won't start.

Are you saying that the Start Laszlo Presentation Server link in the Start menu did not work?

Yes that is correct, the startup screen comes up, but nothing happens and i eventually times out.
