c:\autoexec.bat

if i try to open autoexec.bat i get that it's not a valid win32 application

i'm on win xp professional sp1


what i'm trying to do is set environment variables for tomcat and java.

it told me to use autoexec.bat but i get the error above.


than you

oop nevermind =)

i just needed to go Start > run, and type Sysedit

Right-click my computer, open the properties page, click Advanced, click the Environment Variables button and set your per-user and/or per-computer environment variables this way.

cool thanks =)

What environment variables are you trying to set? Tomcat will generate its own classpath.

this is what i have in the autoexec.bat right now

REM Set path for Java Development Kit
SET PATH=C:\j2sdkee1_3_1
SET CATALINA_HOME=C:\apache\tomcat

If you are wanting to set classpaths for tomcat you will have to configure the tomcat application not the system variables.

oh. how would i do that?

that's what i was asking in the other thread. a tutorial that'll give me everything i need to get tomcat up and running.

Not the easiest to read but contains the information is the documenation that comes with Tomcat. YOu can either place class files in a universal directory or for each web project you can create or use the following structure if it exists.
web-inf
classes --> Here is where you would place the classes that pertain to you web project.
