I agree with Dale Putting ANY characters other than a-z upper/lower and 0-9 and LONG FOLDER NAMES WITH SPACES easily gacks Java read routines so if your CATALINA_HOME is set to C:\PROGRAM FILES WITH SPACES\TOMCAT go to C:\ dir /X /AD find the shortened name e.g. PROGRA~1 and use that for environment variable SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\PROGRA~1\TOMCAT
