Hi Harry, Created a folder named "Sancha" in "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\webapps"
created a subfolder web-inf, copied pasted web.xml into it. But when i type "http://127.0.0.1:8080/Sancha/"; in the URL, I get the following result "HTTP Status 404 - Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- type Status report message Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available description The requested resource (Servlet org.apache.jsp.index_jsp is not available) is not available. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Tomcat/5.0.14" Not sure, whatto do next. Please help.
