Hi zain,

don't be worried about the "missing" catalina.bat in your installation. The fact of the matter is that Tomcat comes in different "flavors"; the "zipped" version does include such a batch file whereas the service installer package does not; you probably have an installation like that in which the bin directory only contains a couple of jar files and two executables.

According to the Tomcat documentation on http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/printer/windows-service-howto.html, it should be possible to pass java options to the executable via the --JvmOptions parameter; therefore, you should try something like

tomcat5 //TS//Tomcat5 ++JvmOptions -Duser.language=en

I hope it helps.

Hi

Please following steps to solve u r problem :

Go to the Catalina_HOME\bin\catalina.bat

and changed the line:

set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m %JAVA_OPTS%

to:

set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms128m -Xmx512m -Duser.language=en %JAVA_OPTS%

And stop, then restarted the server and i think it wll solve u r problem.

If the answer is helpful please reward with points.

Hi,

Within the bin folder u can find a *.bat files and in those files u can find "JAVA_OPTS...." and then make the relevant change in that file.

tomcat is internationalized and that is the reason you are seeing your pages in German and the only thing you could check / change is the default locale setting on your machine. Check from reginal settings if your default locale is set to German and revert it back to English. That should help.
