Error when trying to deploy Alfresco 3.3g war in Tomcat 6

[rzs]

Hello,

Im trying to deploy the war file of Alfresco 3.3g in Tomcat 6 on my machine running Windows XP . I am referring to the instructions at http://www.heiflo.com/2010/03/deploy-alfresco-share-on-tomcat-6/.
I have added

 set CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=196m"‍

at the top of startup.bat located  in my tomcat\bin folder.The tables get created in the mysql database, but when i try to hit http://localhost:8080/alfresco ,it just loops indefinitely and alfresco does not load.Below is the tomcat log. It shows SEVERE: Error listenerStart.

Do you have anything in your alfresco.log file?

[rzs]

I was unable to find alfresco.log in the alfresco folder which was generated by the war in tomcat. So,I tried using the zip file of the alfresco tomcat bundle. But,im getting errors again when i run alf_start.bat. I have upgraded to the latest version of jdk i.e. jdk1.6.0_20, and set JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME too,but that didnt help. Below is the contents of alfresco.log

Im stuck, please help.
Thank You.

That path looks suspicious - either use / to separate the bits of your path or \\ on windows.

Thanks for the reply mrogers. I was able to start alfresco by running alf_start.bat in the alfresco folder after i changed the backslashes to forward, as u suggested, for dir.root in alfresco-global.properties .
But,i would like to have Tomcat run as a Windows service, so that alfresco is started automatically.I tried following instructions given at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Configuring_Alfresco_as_a_Windows_Service , but there is no tomcat6.exe or service.bat in tomcat/bin folder.There is startup.bat,catalina.bat etc.Im using alfresco-community-tomcat-3.3g.zip
I have posted this as a separate question at http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=27723

Please Help
Thanks a lot
