Re: Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)
I have tried the ENV values suggested in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile i.e.: _RUNJAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java _RUNJAVAW=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw _RUNJDB=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\jdb _RUNJAVAC=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac but I'm still getting the HTTP Status 500 Error message: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. [javac] Compiling 1 source file [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. OK so what am I still doing wrong? How know if everything is OK? Is it enough to just do go to http://localhost:8080/, even when I have no servlets? Or could I just try an older version of Tomcat?

Re: Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)
Sweet success at last !!! :-) I have tried the ENV values suggested in http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile i.e.: _RUNJAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java _RUNJAVAW=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javaw _RUNJDB=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\jdb _RUNJAVAC=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac After making the ENV changes, I reinstalled Tomcat and then it worked! HOORAY! - Olumide but I'm still getting the HTTP Status 500 Error message: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting.

Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)
Hello I'm sure this is a FAQ and I've tried to retrieve the list of FAQ's without success, so please bear with me. I have installed the Apache HTTP server (its up and running) and Tomcat (at least I can see a tomcat.exe is one of the currently running processes on my Windows 2000 machine). What more, when I try accessing the server, I get the HTTP Status 500 error: type: Exception report message description: The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. [javac] Compiling 1 source file [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:130) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:293) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:353) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:370) .. .. .. I can also see a blue bar below in the browser window in which is written Apache Tomcat/4.1.24. So that probably means tomcat is up and running. Ok, so why am I not getting the dynamic HTML pages I expected? I am trying to run the Hello World sample servlet (http://www.servlets.com/jservlet2/examples/ch02/HelloWorld.java) in Jason Hunter's book, Java Servlet Programming. I have successfully complied the HelloWorld source code and placed the *.class file in the directory: server_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes.

Re: Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)
You're saying that you cannot view http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq ? I tried via e-mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED], but got a back a message saying : FAQ - Frequently asked questions of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. None available yet. Thansks however for the new links. Most servlet books are out of date. They were written when Tomcat had something called the Invoker servlet enabled by default. This is no longer the case, because the Invoker servlet is a security risk, so in later versions of Tomcat (released after the book was published) the Invoker is disabled. Thus, the example from the book will not work. See: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#invoker http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#evil Thanks again. Also, as a novice, you are setting yourself up for some potential grief by using Apache. Ok I will stick to tomcat. Does this mean I should stop the Apache server? There is no requirement to use Apache to learn JSP and servlet development. You will make things much easier on yourself if you ignore Apache for now and simply use Tomcat. Tomcat is perfectly capable of handling all of your needs, both as a normal web server and as a servlet container for JSP and servlet development. Er ... whats all the talk ablout JSP? All I'm trying to develop is a servlet. How closely are servlets related to JSP? I'm sorry to ask. Its only because I would like to know. Thanks for the link http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#compile. I will try the environment issue. - Olumide - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
