Using

I've installed Tomcat 8 (ignore the 10.1.7 that's on pic, once that's not compatible with Java 8) into my machine as Windows Service, when I startup, a new console is created with message:

enter image description here

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.   Press Enter or Esc to exit...

enter image description here and http://localhost:8080 returns ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Thanks in advance, you for your help.

Win 11, openjdk version "1.8.0_362", Tomcat 8 strong text I was expecting http://localhost:8080 to show Tomcat webpage running local

  • (1) What do you mean by setting environment variables? What environment variables did you set? (2) try to put tomcat to your user folder like your user folder `Downloads` – life888888 Mar 07 '23 at 15:24
  • I've set the path to bin in Path env. var. but I've uninstalled and installed Tomcat 8 as windows service. Still getting some issue – Leonel Fonseca Mar 07 '23 at 15:39
