Michael, What you say makes since but this link http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html#Set-CLASSPATH also makes since. I have used this guide for all installations on my Windows machines and never had problems. I'm not disagreeing but it worked for me to follow the guide and the guide says to include servlet.jar in the CLASSPATH. Go to the link, it explains why they say to do that as well. Thanks, Jeremy

What you need is JAVA_HOME which set to jdk directory i.e. c:\j2sdk1.4.1. I believe classpath was written in the registry during the installation of jdk (windows).

Here is an installation guide I've used many times to install tomcat. It worked every time and it tells you to set your classpath to include the servlet.jar on Windows machines. Here is the link: http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html Hope this helps, Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: Filip Hanik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 12:20 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Installation - Tomcat 4.1 - Windows 2K don't set your CLASSPATH, tomcat doesn't use it. Make sure your JAVA_HOME points to a JDK installation, not JRE.

After installation I get an error message when connecting to Tomcat, the first two lines are shown below: >>org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP >>An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null I believe it must have something to do with how the JAVA_HOME variable is configured on my machine. Below is the path I am using with the above variable name: >>C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01 Any help is appreciated.
