[shaileshkumar]

iam able to startup & shutdown tomcat server from the bin directory.
But when i have copied the same files on to the desktop,iam unable to do so.

my operating system is xp.

My guess would be, that in the bat-files you will find relative paths. Open them with an editor (e.g. notepad) and check if you see absolute or relative paths. If they're relative, change them to absolute paths. Then you should be able to move them anywhere.

By the way, this is not the best solution - the best way to do it would be to just create links to those files, which are in your bin directory (right click on desktop -> new -> Link (or whatever the second option is called), then chose the files). That should work without having to change any paths.

You mean an AlreadyBoundExc eption.
Did you try creating a link instead? And do you get the same Exception, when starting Tomcat from the bin directory?

So, your shortcut points to "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomc at x.x\bin\startup .bat" or whatever the path is and the file is called?
And do you only get the Exception when starting it with the shortcut or do you also get it when starting tomcat with the bat-file in the bin-directory you mentioned earlier?

it is working perfectly now.
problem is probably due to the presence of two tomcat folders

thanx
