Here is a suggestion for an addition to the "Troubleshooting" "WinNT/Win2k" section of http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/tomcat-iis-howto.html This worked for me after a frustrating day of failure.
After: 5. Invoke the URL "http://localhost/examples/jsp/index.html"; in your browser. Case is important. The characters following "localhost" in the URL must be lower case. If the page fails to appear, examine the last line in the IIS server log file in found in SYSTEM32/LogFiles/W3SVC1. A. The last line should contain something like: GET "/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll HTTP1.1", which indicates the Tomcat redirector is recognizing that it should handle the request. 1. If the number following GET "/..." is 404, check the following: a. Make sure you entered the URL correctly. Insert: b. Maybe IIS Virtual Directories are not working. Make a new Virtual Directory pointing to some local files, enable Directory browsing and Read then check whether your browser can browse and read from it. If not uninstall and reinstall IIS. (The Virtual Directories I had created were no longer present at this stage.) Repeat the steps 3 to 5 of "Configuring the ISAPI Tomcat Redirector" and try again. Although its stupid having to reinstall IIS, its fairly quick and doesn't mess up your web site content or require reboots. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
