I'm using windows 2000 Pro; jdk1.3.1_01; and apache tomcat 4.0.
But whenever i try to start apache tomcat i get a number of errors.
I have copied these errors from the command windows and pasted them below because i don't know where to begin.Does anyone think i should reinstall apache tomcat 4.0
Please take a look, here below are the error messages i'm getting.
