Next time you suspect confusion between JDK versions you can inspect this registry key for correctness
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit\1.4.0_01] "JavaHome"="where_ever_you_put_it" "MicroVersion"="0" In the same area you can find keys for the JRE also. rls "Mike Warne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 09/13/2002 02:20 PM Please respond to "Tomcat Users List" To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: RE: Cant get 4.1.10 to run on Win2K Thanks Nicholas, It works now. I removed some older JDK's (except 1.3, I still need for testing other stuff). I also removed JAVA_HOME from my environment. Installer looks for it, and suggests using it.. Removing JAVA_HOME forced the install to find the 1.4 jdk. Thanks for the help.

This is all you need to do to get it to work on win2k pro 1. Remove both Tomcat and Java using add/remove programs 2. Download and install J2SE SDK from here -> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html make sure you get "Windows (all languages, including English) SDK" 3. Download and install Tomcat from here -> http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.10/bin/ and get jakarta-tomcat-4.1.10.exe 3. a) Check install as service, just makes things easier. If you just click "next" in both of these installs you will have a working Tomcat install. Just do this first and if it works then you can go about customising it to where and what you want.

The install program pauses at the point where it says copying to: tomcat4.1/common/lib and then says: copy failed. However the install then completes. When I open the browser to localhost:8080 I get a org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Same goes for any of the WAR examples etc. 2nd then tried the FULL edition (not the LE) -- same problem. :( 3rd I tried installing the full edition again using JDK1.3. This time the copy does not fail. But now I have this error: --------------------------------------------------------------- org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null Generated servlet error: [javac] Compiling 1 source file C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\work\Standalone\localhost\_\index_jsp.java:266: handlePageException(java.lang.Exception) in javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext cannot be applied to (java.lang.Throwable) if (pageContext != null) pageContext.handlePageException(t); ^ 1 error at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandle r.java:120) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:2 93) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:315) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:326) at org.apache.jasper.JspCompilationContext.compile(JspCompilationContext.java:4 74) Any Ideas?
