connecting to apache PLZ HELP, VERY FUSTRATED!!

[Paul <Pa...@hfea.gov.uk>]

Hi, 
I have installed apache 1.3 and tomcat 3.2 on a Linux 6.1 system.  They
both run 
fine stand alone (I can see the apache test page and the tomcat examples
through 
my browser).  However, when I try to run a JSP example I get...

Error: 500
Location: /examples/jsp/colors/colrs.jsp
Internal Servlet Error:

I think that there may be a problem with the connection between the two?
I have run the 'test-tomcat.xml' file as described in the file header.
I get a 
successful build for the first execution (testing tomcat), but when I
run the second 
half (to test apache) the script just hangs, so I am assuming that the
connection between
the two isn't right.  
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Cheers,
Paul (a very fustrated web developer);->

Paul,

Did you follow the instructions on integrating Tomcat and Apache?
