My Tomcat server 6.0 doesn't start . I have windows xp.

I also tried executing from command prompt by going to bin folder. Still the same problem.

The log file is as follows..

Looks like you have a bad file somewhere in the settings of Java. maybe you use old Java or your java folder is compromised(damaged?).

I changed my OS from XP to 7 . Now it works fine. Even when i initially installed win7 the same problem was there . but when i run it as administrator it worked..

On Windows 7 the fault was problably the access rights in Program Files or something in that way. For WinXP could be the same problem if you use 2 or more accounts that are not in administrator group. But for XP I still think the problem is more to missing files or some setup. Maybe movement of folders, whereas the pernament paths where not working. Anyway good to hear that it is now running.
