problems with tomcat installation

I'm a complete newbie to Java, but I have tried to install tomcat on a Linux
server with apache because some of my developers has requested the
possibilty of using java server pages.

I have tried to follow the installation instructions and I can get the
examples on \examples\servlets to work, but whenever I try to execute the
examples in \examples\jsp  I get the following error:

Error: 500
Location: /examples/jsp/num/numguess.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:
