Unable to run Tomcat server[solved] (Tomcat forum at Coderanch)

I have installed preconfigured Tomcat package 5.5.9 from coreservlets.com and changed the directory name as Tomcat 5.5 under C: drive.

When I try to run the start.bat from install-dir/bin or using bin/catalina run from command prompt I get this long error message. Can any of you tell me how to solve this problem. I forgot to tell you that I have J2SDK 1.4.2 installed on my C: drive. I have also set two environment variables in Windows XP
1. JAVA_HOME c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08
2. TOMCAT_HOME c:\Tomcat 5.5

C:\Tomcat 5.5\bin>catalina run
Using CATALINA_BASE:   C:\Tomcat 5.5
Using CATALINA_HOME:   C:\Tomcat 5.5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Tomcat 5.5\temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08

Thanks for replying William, I have got a compatibility to be installed with jdk 1.4.2 but it is a zip file and I do not know where to extract it and that has not been mentioned in the tutorial itself.

In the meanwhile, I have installed j2se 1.5.0_09 and I have changed the Java_home system variable and I am now able to run Tomcat server and jsp files execute on it....

Extract it from the same directory that were in when you extracted Tomcat.
It's got the same directory structure.

Thanks ben for replying, this problem has been posted long ago ...since there was no answer for a long time I had to install jdk 1.5.0 then and I am able to run Tomcat now...

hi ! i will tell you easiest way for solving this problem.. first , start the tomcat by using command prompt ..start->run->cmd-> (type) tomcat5.exe(if you are using tomcat5.5) press enter ,now your tomcat severe will run without showing coyote severe not started note:do not run the tomcat in usualway..
