Re: Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)

RE: Configuring Tomcat (NEWBIE)
Howy, It's trying to load the page you requested, but failing, because of a compilation error. It looks like you're trying to run a JSP, not a servlet. Apache is correctly forwarding to tomcat, which attempts to compile the JSP in order to serve it, but fails. Post the JSP source code for more help.

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).

You're saying that you cannot view http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq ?

I have successfully complied the HelloWorld source code and placed the *.class file in the directory: server_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes. Most servlet books are out of date.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.

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. You can always add Apache into your environment later should you feel the need to do so. John - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Olumide wrote: 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? Sure. Then, change Tomcat's server.xml file so that the HTTP Connector configured for port 8080 is configured for port 80. Then restart Tomcat. You'll have to make sure that neither Apache nor anything else starts up on port 80 that would conflict with Tomcat. There is no requirement to use Apache to learn JSP and servlet development.

You can run servlet on Tomcat or you can run JSP which will be translated to servlet on Tomcat as well. Anyway, if all you do are servlets, you do not need the application server. It will save yourself a lot of grief. Hope this helps. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
