Unable to run JSPs

[Gareth Cantrell <ga...@citec.net>]

I have been having problems getting tomcat to run JSPs for the last
week.
I have tried with 3.2b4, b5, b6 and now b7... and still get the same
problems:  "cannot load servlet name: jsp"
I'm currently using RH Linux 6.2, with Sun's JDK1.3. I've also tried
this
on NT4, and Win2000 with the same results. Below is the output from the
startup script... below that is the error I get when trying to load
index.jsp.
