I had a bunch of Java, Ant, Cygwin, and other assorted server-side products that I have no clue what they do still installed on my server box; admin at work had me install them to work from home. Therefore, Java was already an evironment variable, and Tomcat 4.1.30 started up just fine (pointing there failed to compile index.jsp, but I just want Flex, not JSP so I'm not crying).
I'll go add the Catalina path you mention below, but before I do, I saw Tomcat move my wars into folders... but how do I access that box on my network? Like, I've got my router that's plugged into my DSL. I have 4 boxes (me and my server are 2) plugged into my router. I tried hitting my server's local IP in a browser, but no go. Do I have to forward port 8080 traffic to that box so if my box hits it via 192.168.1.100 (my server), then it'll know to forward that request there, and thus Flex? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Spaulding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 7:11 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on Tomcat Go to http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_tomcat-4.cgi and download the 4.1.31 zip binary. I would recommend putting all Java related files in c:\Java\. In here you would have your Java sdk, tomcat etc. So just extract the tomcat zip into this directory and then add an evironment variable 'CATALINA_HOME' and then add %CATALINA_HOME%\bin to your path. From here you can then run c:\Java\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31\bin\startup.bat That should get you started! Any other troubles just keep posting ;) Andrew. --- In [email protected], "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Bleh, ok, Tomcat won't start, not sure it's deal.
