Hi Andre, I did as suggested. Tomcat is running fine as service Tomcat1.
I have set CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat1 and CATALINA_BASE=C:\tomcat1 (I set the env var from Control Panel -> System Properties ->Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System variables) What is the next step for additional instance on different port? thanks and regards kapil On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 6:09 PM, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: > Kapil Godara wrote: > >> Hi >> >> I copied the entire folder Tomcat 6.0 at C:\Program Files\Apache Software >> Foundation (where tomcat is installed) to Tomcat_instance2 . >> > ... > > Let's start again, from the beginning. > > This has been discussed many times on this forum, but I believe it is worth > repeating it, because it is probably the source of the confusion. > > In the Tomcat website download page, there are several versions : > > - one is for Unix/Linux.
