It seems many people are frustrated because Tomcat doesn't work right away, which is mainly because of faulty classpath settings, a lack in the setup documentation.
I'd suggest someone add to the RUNNING.TXT doc at the end of the part "(1) Download and Install the Tomcat 4.0 Binary Distribution", a couple of helpful lines like ------------------------------------------ * Configure your classpath: Update your environment variable CLASSPATH to contain at least the following entries (of course, adapted to your operating system and paths): .; E:\java\j2sdk14\lib; F:\Servlet\Jakarta\server\lib; F:\Servlet\Jakarta\lib; F:\servlet\jakarta\common\lib\servlet.jar; E:\java\j2sdk14\lib\tools.jar; F:\servlet\jakarta\lib\jasper-runtime.jar; Especially check that servlet.jar, tools.jar, and jasper-runtime.jar path names are specified correctly. Without these, Tomcat can not start. ------------------------------------------- (I'd do this myself if i had ever used CVS, but... ;) cheers, - Jan -- ************************************************* high voltage at http://www.hut.fi/~jwagner/tesla Jan OH2GHR -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
