I installed Tomcat 5.5.10 (jakarta-tomcat-5.5.10.exe) on Windows XP (SP2, german). Installation went through so far, but it does not start Tomcat. This is what the log shows (in debug mode): [2005-07-29 16:15:29] [1253 prunsrv.c] [debug] Procrun log initialized [2005-07-29 16:15:29] [info] Running Service...

If I uninstall 5.5.10 and re-install 5.5.9 with the same options selected, tomcat 5.5.9 starts with no probs.
The issue is that the logging configuration that is now being used in 5.5.10 uses the catalina.base env variable, which is not defined (so define it like catalina.home).
Wouldn't it be a good thing to have this defined already after installation, like catalina.home?

(In reply to comment #2) > Wouldn't it be a good thing to have this defined already after installation, > like catalina.home? Yes why isn't there any documentation on your websit to resolve this issue with what you mentioned. But do you need to make this and environmental variable in Windows XP ? is that what you mean?
Ralph, I'am not sure if your question was addressed to me, but this bug should definitly be fixed in the downloadable windows version, because of the missing environment varaible. But this can be only done by the tomcat developers. jakarta-tomcat-5.5.10.exe has this bug, but startup.bat in jakarta-tomcat- 5.5.10.tar.gz sets the variable, so its just an issue with the .exe
I marked the bug as fixed, which means the bug has been fixed, and I provided you with an easy workaround, so can you please stop whining ?
