Tomcat Installation Problem

Question

I am using Win98 and jdk version 1.3.1_03. For JAVA_HOME, i set it by typing "set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_03" and CATALINA_HOME, "set CATALINA_HOME=c:\jakart~1" (my tomcat is installed in this directory) in command prompt.
When i do jakart~1\bin\startup, the command prompt window shows this:
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Using CATALINA_BASE:
Using CATALINA_HOME: c:\jakart~1
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR:
Using JAVA_HOME: c:\jdk1.3.1_03
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Out of environment space
Bad command or file name
I have went to http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html#DOS-Memory to check out how to change DOS memory settings. I couldn't find install_dir/bin/startup.bat as i don't have an install_dir directory in my tomcat folder. Can anybody tell me how do i fix this problem?

Answer 1

Here is another solution from MS support site:
"Out of Environment Space" Running Batch File or Command Prompt
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
SYMPTOMS
When you start a batch file or use a command prompt, you may receive the following error message:
Out of environment space
CAUSE
The default space for environment variables is 256 bytes by default. More environment variables are being set than can fit in 256 bytes.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods:
Method 1
Right-click the MS-DOS Prompt shortcut, and then click Properties.
Click the Memory tab.
In the Initial Environment box, set the initial environment size you want (from 256 to 4,096 bytes, in 256-byte increments).
Click OK.
Method 2
Edit the Autoexec.bat file to include any environment variables that you need to set, and then reboot the computer. The changes are incorporated into the registry and the environment variable size is increased.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows Millennium Edition ignores Config.sys statements to increase the environment variable size.
