I'm sure this is a FAQ and I've tried to retrieve the list of FAQ's without success, so please bear with me.
I have installed the Apache HTTP server (its up and running) and Tomcat (at least I can see a tomcat.exe is one of the currently running processes on my Windows 2000 machine).
What more, when I try accessing the server, I get the HTTP Status 500 error:
type: Exception report
message
description: The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
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] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. [javac] Compiling 1 source file [javac] Since fork is true, ignoring compiler setting. at org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.javacError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:130) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.javacError(ErrorDispatcher.java:293) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.generateClass(Compiler.java:353) at org.apache.jasper.compiler.Compiler.compile(Compiler.java:370)

I can also see a blue bar below in the browser window in which is written "Apache Tomcat/4.1.24". So that probably means tomcat is up and running. Ok, so why am I not getting the dynamic HTML pages I expected? I am trying to run the "Hello World" sample servlet (http://www.servlets.com/jservlet2/examples/ch02/HelloWorld.java) in Jason Hunter's book, Java Servlet Programming. I have successfully complied the "HelloWorld" source code and placed the *.class file in the directory: server_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes.
Thanks for helping the novice.
