Apache Tomcat\Windows XP\"page not found" error

[Frank J Murray <fj...@comcast.net>]

Hello,

   This is a new post, and I am a newbie (at least to Apache Tomcat on
Windows).

I went to the Apache.org website and downloaded and installed the
Windows executable under Core distributions, i.e.,

        Core: 
  a.. zip (pgp, md5) 
  b.. tar.gz (pgp, md5) 
  c.. Windows Executable (pgp, md5) 
The install went fine, but when I try to start Apache Tomcat, it just
gives me the standard error message, "unable to connect."

This happens even after I start the Apache service known as
"Configure Tomcat" within the Apache Tomcat folder (or directory).

I'm guessing I need to install one or two other important files or apps,
as well as do some configuring, similar to setting JAVA_HOME, and
executing (./ in Unix) the startup file (or .bat) in Windows.

Any information is appreciated.  Thanks.

fjm

you might also try, in addition to of course setting the env. variable 
JAVA_HOME correctly, to point your PATH to the bin folder of your Tomcat 
installation and put both the servlet-api.jar and the jsp-api.jar into 
the CLASSPATH env. variable. Hope that helps you.

When starting a new thread (ie sending a message to the list about a

used by list subscribers this  makes your new message appear as part
of the old thread. This makes it harder for other users to find
relevant information when searching the lists.

This is known as thread hijacking and is that is frowned
upon on this list. Frequent offenders will be removed from the list.
It should also be noted that many list subscribers automatically
ignore any messages that hijack another thread.

The correct procedure is to create a new message with a new subject.
This will start a new thread.
