Steve, People have tried to help you. Case in point, you emailed me directly asking me the following....
"Now, would you please list, very methodically, all of the various steps involved in installing Tomcat?! Incidentally, I am trying/attempting to install version 4.0.4 without too damned many problems that I might encounter." I responded with the following.... "First I'd have to know what OS you are installing on. I won't be able to give out any Unix specific install info since I work on Windows. I also need to know what difficulties you are having with your current install. I'd love to help you, but I'm not going to run through every last detail of an install because that is what the existing docs and the archives of this list are for. Once you give me some base info to work from, we can try to figure out the issue you are having." I am still awaiting a response letting me know what you are having trouble with, specifically. If you aren't going to bother writing back information that I need to help you out, I'm not going to go out of my way to help you. I offered my help and you ignored the offer. The only reason I can see for this behavior is that you want the solution spoon-fed to you so others do the work for you and you just benefit from the advice without having to do much of any work. Please don't flame back at me for this statement. If you believe the statement is a mis-characterisation of your intent, then prove me wrong by actually providing some evidence that you, in fact, *have* read the available documentation. Until you do this, you have nothing to say to anyone else and no one else has *any* obligation to answer your pleas for help. Note: I am still willing to help you out, but please take the above into account before asking for more help in the future. Make sure you define what you have done so far and what exactly you are having difficulty with. No one here will write a book for you just in case one of those steps might just solve your issue. Narrow your scope and you might get some better responses....and please stop with the "this is Steve Burris" in your email. We know who you are based on the "from" header in the email. You don't need to tell us again. later, Jake At 12:50 PM 8/21/2002 -0700, you wrote: > This is Steve Burrus again, and I am damned sorry to have to post my > plea for >help/assistance again, but everyday when I first access my email there are >literally 100's of postings from other members of the Tomcat newsgroup, and my >original post--and any response--is VERY DIFFICULT to locate, so here it >is again: > How exactly does one go about installing the Tomcat 4.0.* correctly??? > I have >"racked my brain" in trying to figure out how to do this, but I simply >cannot do >it myself, I am afraid to say!
