Hi Richard Couple of suggestions -
1. Set the following variables in catalina.bat set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000 2. I had this error earlier then pointing eclipse and tomcat to use same JRE fixed the problem. 3. After running catalina.bat jpda start, try to see if the socket is open telnet localhost 8000 4. You can try catalina.bat jpda run instead of start. This shows if there is any error starting JPDA on the same window. Best Regards Su Mo. On 11/23/05, R.
