I would eliminate Apache and mod_jk from the equation for the time being. Once you have everything working with (just) Tomcat, you can evaluate whether or not to add Apache out front. > <HTML> > <BODY> > <p>Hello World!</p> > <p>The time is now <%= new java.util.Date() %></p> > </BODY> > </HTML> The page itself looks fine. > I have a test page (test.jsp) in my Apache www directory. You probably have the JSP file in the wrong place. You need to put your JSP files wherever Tomcat expects them to be. When you use Apache httpd out in front of Tomcat, it merely delegates the request to Tomcat, so Apache is not really involved in the process of actually running the JSP, etc. > I'm coming from a PHP background and might be confused. Coming from a PHP background, I can certainly understand why you did what you did. PHP typically runs as a webserver plug-in (mod_php in this case) and so Apache httpd sort-of manages the invocation of the PHP processor. Tomcat interacts differently with the web server, which is why I suggested that you drop that from your setup while you get started. Exactly what is necessary depends on your version of Tomcat (4.x, 5.0.x, or 5.5.x), but you might be able to get away with dropping your JSP file into the "webapps" directory in your Tomcat directory. Strictly speaking, you should probably create a formal webapp by creating a subdirectory underneath "webapps" and including a context.xml file in a WEB-INF subdirectory underneath that. But, just to get going and convince yourself that "new java.lang.Date()" does, in fact, give you the current date, you can probably just move your JSP file into the "webapps" directory and try again. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFiaHn9CaO5/Lv0PARAn4NAKC+IrQUETJF/czavm7tUrdTmIZiHACePan0 YKnOocnYgh/B3YPoCYm8lsY= =ajrQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
