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 Files\jasperserver-3.5.0\apache-tomcat\bin>startup
Using CATALINA_BASE:   C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.5.0\apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_HOME:   C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.5.0\apache-tomcat
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Program Files\jasperserver-3.5.0\apache-tomcat\temp
Using JRE_HOME:        C:\PROGRA~1\JASPER~1.0\java\jre

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!!!

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