I just installed Tomcat 3.2 on windows 2000 Server yesterday and it went
rather easily. Everything works great! :0)
Print out and read the documentation that comes with the download before you
begin. Also print out the server.xml, tomcat.xml etc.... all of the
configuration files. The documentation is good. There are about 25 steps
or more including modifying your registry so be careful. Preparation and a
hard copy in hand are the keys. I would estimate that I could do the entire
procedure now in about 2 hours although it took about a day the first time.
This morning I was able to set up MySQL with tomcat as well. Sql-Server7
and DB2 to come over the weekend.
I chose to use the isapi_redirect.dll and a stand alone configuration as it
appears to be the most stable and still allows full functionality of the
existing IIS-5. This means several configuration files must be dealt with.
Speed with my personal servlet library seems better then ASP and Visual
Basic. JSP pages will be slow the first time they are run but performance is
very good afterwards. (they must compile) Tweak the workers.properties file
to get maximum performance.
Don't drink too much caffeine and use a "Zen" approach and it will come
together. Take some time to really learn the directory structure. You can
set directories to automatically reload.
Important files and documents:
readme.txt
A Minimalistic User's guide
tomcat IIS How to
uriworkermap.properties
tomcat.policy
tomcat.properties
workers.properties
server.xml
Good luck,
Craig

Subject: Installation on Windows 2000
Hello there,
I wonder if anyone could advice me on the procedures/install instructions
for installing
Tomcat on the following platforms:
1. Windows 2000;
2. Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.
Thanks,
Shicheng
PS: JRun from Allaire Corporation is an expensive software which supports
JSP; so what is the difference between JRun and Tomcat?
