Re: Installation problem [newbie]
A couple of things: The list in general strips attachments, so your log did not make it through. The file httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi is for installing the Apache web server. The Apache web server is useful if you are planning to write PHP, Perl, Python, or Lisp/Scheme web sites. The file apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe is the file for installing Apache Tomcat as a service on Windows. Tomcat is useful if you are planning to write Java web sites. If you run Tomcat on Windows as a service, the installer will figure everything out. The service installation is good enough for many uses. Documentation for service installation is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Windows Documentation for managing the service under Windows is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html If you are going to actively develop Java web applications, then it's sometimes useful to install from the zip archive. Many IDEs use the batch files from the zip archive to start and stop Tomcat. Just unzip the archive in a directory that you have read/write access to. Add an environment variable called JAVA_HOME and point it to your installation of the Java JRE. On Windows the JRE is usually located in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 (for the latest versions of Java). Now to run the unzipped version of Apache Tomcat, just open a DOS command window, navigate to the bin directory under where you unpacked the zip file.

Please only reply to the list. I read the list regularly (and respond sporadically). I also get about 200 mail messages per day, and will probably miss mail messages from addresses I don't recognize. I will certainly not respond to addresses I don't recognize very quickly. Thanks. I'll make comments inline.

If you've installed the httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi file, that is not Tomcat. That is the Apache web server which much like IIS (I think it's much better than IIS, but that's my opinion). If you're going to install that, you'll need to switch your IIS server service to manual and shut it down. If you installed apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe, then you should see the Tomcat Monitor application in your system tray. This can be used to start and stop Tomcat.

Also, see below on using the JRE and JDK. From the RUNNING.TXT file: (1.3) Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of the directory into which you installed the JRE, e.g. c:\jre5.0 or /usr/local/java/jre5.0. So, in most Windows/XP cases point JRE_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 (for Java 1.6). From the CATALINA.BAT file: rem JAVA_HOME Must point at your Java Development rem Kit installation. rem Required to run the with the debug rem argument. rem rem JRE_HOMEMust point at your Java Runtime rem installation. rem Defaults to JAVA_HOME if empty. In other words, unless you're doing development work or running Tomcat with the debug argument, you do not need to install the JDK. If you're going to do development, then I recommend using the latest JDK (1.6.0_21).

Jonathan Camilleri wrote: I want to run PHP basically, and, Apache Tomcat is a pre-requisite. I think you have got some things right, and other things wrong then. In my opinion, Apache Tomcat might not be the best choice as a webserver to host PHP scripts. And you do not need Java for that either. On the other hand, your first choice of file to install (httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi), which is Apache httpd (a different program than Tomcat, but also a very good webserver), was probably right. But then, you are also on the wrong help list, because this one is for Apache Tomcat, not for Apache httpd. Go to : http://httpd.apache.org and look for the mailing list instructions there. In the meantime, a quick fix (to run Apache httpd, supposing you have installed it) : - turn off IIS - start the Apache2.x service (NOT Apache Tomcat) - access http://localhost:80 And if in the future you get tired of PHP scripts, and want to try Java servlets and JSP pages, then come back here and we will help you with that. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Tomcat is certainly not a prerequisite for running PHP (it's rather ugly under Tomcat).

The file httpd-2.2.16-win32-x86-openssl-0.9.8o.msi is for installing the Apache web server. The Apache web server is useful if you are planning to write PHP, Perl, Python, or Lisp/Scheme web sites. The file apache-tomcat-6.0.29.exe is the file for installing Apache Tomcat as a service on Windows. Tomcat is useful if you are planning to write Java web sites. If you run Tomcat on Windows as a service, the installer will figure everything out. The service installation is good enough for many uses. Documentation for service installation is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Windows Documentation for managing the service under Windows is here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html If you are going to actively develop Java web applications, then it's sometimes useful to install from the zip archive. Many IDEs use the batch files from the zip archive to start and stop Tomcat. Just unzip the archive in a directory that you have read/write access to. Add an environment variable called JAVA_HOME and point it to your installation of the Java JRE. On Windows the JRE is usually located in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 (for the latest versions of Java). Now to run the unzipped version of Apache Tomcat, just open a DOS command window, navigate to the bin directory under where you unpacked the zip file. For example, if you unpacked the zip file in C:\, the bin subdirectory would be in C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\bin. Type startup (which will run startup.bat) to start Tomcat, and shutdown (which will run shutdown.bat) to stop Tomcat. To get your IDE to work with Tomcat, it's best to ask on the IDE mailing list (for example, NetBeans or Eclipse). On my XP system, I've installed both. I set the service startup to manual, and I point my IDE (NetBeans) to the zip file installation. . . . . just my two cents /mde/ From: Jonathan Camillericamilleri@gmail.com To: Tomcatusers@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Wed, August 18, 2010 11:17:59 AM Subject: Installation problem [newbie] I ran into an installation problem, and, hope you can help me out with it.
