Hi everybody,
thanks for your help, which I really appreciate!
I still don't know exactly what it was, but I fixed it by doing the
following:
- uninstall tomcat
- reinstall it, not having it run as a windows service
- installing it in a directory "tomcat_4_1" rather then the suggested
"tomcat 4.1" because I hade problems with spaces in path before. Now it
works!
Bye
Peter
