java - tomcat not starting

Question

suddenly for some reason tomcat server is not runnin/starting/stopping.

below is the result I get when i run the startup command,

  C:Program Filesjasperserver-3.5.0apache-tomcatin>startup
Using CATALINA_BASE:   C:Program Filesjasperserver-3.5.0apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   C:Program Filesjasperserver-3.5.0apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:Program Filesjasperserver-3.5.0apache-tomcatemp
Using JRE_HOME:        C:PROGRA~1JASPER~1.0javajre

The tomcat window pops up for a split of a second and goes away.

(I have another java instance installed under c:program files)

Help!!!

Answer 1

Use catalina.bat run instead of startup.bat. Then the window won't go away and you can see what's going on
