Wait, go back to the beginning and try very slow, I passed the same, the problem with servlet is only in the web.xml file in your app, it is transparent to Apache Web server, look at the standard examples that comes with the Tomcat installation, first try as exercise to install the tomcat from the beginning and run the standard applications, when you get it, try applying changes and changes, DO NOT JUMP TOO HIGH FROM THE BEGINNING, my prefered app server is the tomcat but in the begining is a headache, I can tell. You are right, if you want to learn you have to teach you yourself, start slow, with the standard and after apply few changes and so on.
Regards, Guido. P.S: The final exercise for you is to configure it with Virtual Host & Servlet mapping. -----Original Message----- From: EDV Systembetrieb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Form based Authentication / j_security_check not found Hi everybody again. I'm getting mad on configuring tomcat for my application. My be I do not know enough about java, but I have to "Learn it by doing", so please be friendly. I'm using form-based authentication and everything works until I submit my login-ID If I put LoginForm.html in the servlet-dir, it pops-up, but after entering my login-infos I get "The requested URL /DSCservlet/j_security_check was not found on this server". I know, LoginForm.html should be outside the protected area. But in my special example, something seems wrong with alias in mod_jk.conf and/or some path in my config-files. I searched the mailing-list, but I do not understand the stuff. Please help before I'm getting mad Thanks Sabine my apps-DSC.xml: <webapps> <Context path="/DSCservlet" docBase="/webapps/SSL_apps/dsc/servlet" debug="0" crossContext="false" reloadable="true" > </Context> </webapps> my mod_jk.conf ...
