Tomcat 5.0.27 Set Up Problem

I have downloaded the Tomcat 5.0.27 on the Windows XP
(I have JDK installed OKay and tested). I am able to
start the server; however I got HTTP Status 404 error.

I primarily followed Marty's Hall's instruction for
configuration at the web site
http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html

Nonetheless, I think his instruction is sort of out of
date. Here is what I have done:

1. (done) downloaded and unzipped
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27

2. (problem) Marty Hall says "To enable it, uncomment
the following line in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\server.xml:" 
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>

But, I do not find <Context path="" docBase="ROOT"
debug="0"/>
in the server.xml. I installed the Tomcal 4.1.18
before, the 
<Context ... > tag was there.

3. (done) I have followed Marty Hall's instruction and
enabled the invoker servlet by uncommenting the
following servlet-mapping element in
C:\jarkata-tomcat-5.0.27/conf/web.xml 

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

4. (problem) Marty Hall says to "turn on servlet
reloading" by insert the following line: 
<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

just below the comment "<!-- Define properties for
each web application. This is only needed if you want
to set non-default properties, or have web application
document roots in places other than the virtual host's
appBase
directory. -->

I DO NOT FIND that comment in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\server.xml anymore!

5. (done) set the JAVA_HOME variable

6. (not necessary) change DOS memory settings: If you
use an older version of Windows, you may also have to
change the DOS memory settings for the startup and
shutdown scripts.

I am using the Windows XP; therefore, I do not think
that I have to change DOS memeroy settings.

7. I edited C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\bin\catalina.bat
and inserted the following after the first set of
comments: 

if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto gotJavaHome
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02
:gotJavaHome

8. (done) The "Automatically detect settings" checkbox
in IExplorer Connections is unchecked.

9. (problem) Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet
Options -->
Connections --> Lan Settings --> check the box of 
Bypass proxy server for local addresses 

The Bypass proxy server for local addresses is grayed
out, I cannot check the box.


Please advise what I have missed in the configurtion
process. I appreciate your help.

for easy installing you dont need to unzip files just use the tomcat
.exe installer, and check option to install tomcat as a service. make
sure to have a j2sdk installed first.

Re: Tomcat 5.0.27 Set Up Problem

Posted by John Villar <jo...@florhard.com>.

Have you verified that your personal firewall (In case you have XP SP2, 
if you have a SP earlier you're stuck) isn't blocking port 8080? also, 
have you tried accesing it on the port 80? maybe you've configured it on 
your server.xml file.... also, to further help you, please, tell what 
are you intending to do (besides running tomcat) and what's your 
configuration....

Re: Tomcat 5.0.27 Set Up Problem

Posted by Caroline Jen <ji...@yahoo.com>.

Yes, I was able to start the Tomcat server by clicking
on the startup script file in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\bin directory.  I can also
shut down the Tomcat server by clicking on the
shutdown script in the same directory.  But, I typed
http://localhost:8080/ in the Windows XP address bar,
I got the HTTP Status 404 error.

Moreover, my problem is NOT about enabling the invoker
servlet.  If you look at my original posting, it is
about

"turn on servlet reloading" by insert the following
line: 
<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

just below the comment "

I DO NOT FIND that comment in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\server.xml anymore!

Probably, your problem isn't tomcat configuration.... are you sure 
you're starting it up? (at least, ran the batch file you modified, 
however, the service approach is much better)
Reread my previous email, it seems like you haven't read all the bits i 
did include.... lemme include them here, separately

1) Your freshly installed tomcat 5.0.27 (Update to 5.0.28) is prepared 
to function right out-of-the-box
2) Why do you want to enable the invoker servlet?.... tomcat can 
function properly without it.....
3) It's much better to run Tomcat as a service on WindowsXP/W2K....
4) If you haven't a proxy server configured, you don't have to check 
that box.....

Caroline,     you and I may be having some of the same problems,   if you
wish to talk, email me directly at m.mcquade@sympatico.ca ok,   maybe we can
help each other out... Im also using Tomcat, the windows installer version,
and having problems connecting to my database,  allows me to do it just
once,   and when I do a second open of the database,  I get 08002 which is
connection name already in use....  But go figure,  I did a Disconnect and
got a clean SqlState code from my prior connect...... TomCat seems to be
holding the database connection open,   and Im wondering if you are gonna
have this problem also......  Anyways,   email me if you wish to talk ok....
Cheers....

Re: Tomcat 5.0.27 Set Up Problem

Posted by Caroline Jen <ji...@yahoo.com>.

But, the Tomcat is not configured properly!!  I was
able to start the server.  Nonetheless, when I typed
http://localhost:8080 in the Windows XP browser's
address bar, I got "HTTP Status 404"!!!

I primarily followed Marty's Hall's instruction for
configuration at the web site
http://www.moreservlets.com/Using-Tomcat-4.html

Nonetheless, I think his instruction is sort of out of
date. Here is what I have done:

1. (done) downloaded and unzipped
jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27

2. (problem) Marty Hall says "To enable it, uncomment
the following line in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\server.xml:" 
<Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>

But, I do not find <Context path="" docBase="ROOT"
debug="0"/>
in the server.xml. I installed the Tomcal 4.1.18
before, the 
<Context ... > tag was there.

3. (done) I have followed Marty Hall's instruction and
enabled the invoker servlet by uncommenting the
following servlet-mapping element in
C:\jarkata-tomcat-5.0.27/conf/web.xml 

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

4. (problem) Marty Hall says to "turn on servlet
reloading" by insert the following line: 
<DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

just below the comment "

I DO NOT FIND that comment in the
C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\conf\server.xml anymore!

5. (done) set the JAVA_HOME variable

6. (not necessary) change DOS memory settings: If you
use an older version of Windows, you may also have to
change the DOS memory settings for the startup and
shutdown scripts.

I am using the Windows XP; therefore, I do not think
that I have to change DOS memeroy settings.

7. I edited C:\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.27\bin\catalina.bat
and inserted the following after the first set of
comments: 

if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto gotJavaHome
set JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.0_02
:gotJavaHome

8. (done) The "Automatically detect settings" checkbox
in IExplorer Connections is unchecked.

9. (problem) Internet Explorer --> Tools --> Internet
Options -->
Connections --> Lan Settings --> check the box of 
Bypass proxy server for local addresses 

The Bypass proxy server for local addresses is grayed
out, I cannot check the box.

Your freshly installed tomcat 5.0.27 (Update to 5.0.28) is prepared to 
function right out-of-the-box

Why do you want to enable the invoker servlet?.... tomcat can function 
properly without it.....

If you haven't a proxy server configured, you don't have to check that
