Ok, well here's a strange thing (to me at least)... I uninstalled Tomcat, and removed CATALINA_HOME & JAVA_HOME environment variables. I also removed anything I added to the path, such as %JAVA_HOME%\bin.
I then reinstalled Tomcat using the Executable. After the installation the service is started. Without setting any environment variables or changes to path, for the heck of it I tried http://localhost:8080 and wouldn't you know it, http://localhost:8080/index.jsp comes up fine. Also, the JSP and servlet examples all work. Does anyone have any idea why this would work? And since its working I don't want to mess with it - what are the implications of leaving the setup without CATALINA_HOME & JAVA_HOME set and without adding the bin directories to the PATH? Thanks :) On to the mod_jk setup again...

Just omit the bin for JAVA_HOME. JAVA_HOME doesn't need to be exported in the PATH variable. Installing the jdk on a separate partition or drive is ok. As long as you set your JAVA_HOME correctly. You may specify a classpath variable if you need. Or you could pass arguments to the java.exe program. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
