Installing Cocoon on Windows.

Good evening

I have some quetions about installing cocoon and it's related applications
on a Windows NT machine with service page 5 on it.

I've installed JDSK and Jserv 1.1 downloaded from the Apache website
I've downloaded cocoon and run the build script twice, first with no
arguments and later with the build-zip argument.

The questions I have are:

I've restarted the server to make sure that Jserv was running but it keeps
telling me that the file servlets/IsItWorking can't be found.  Is there
anything I'm missing?

After I create the Cocoon-1.7.3.zip file, how do I uncompress it and
istall cocoon?

Are there any extra steps that I need to follow?

Thanks
Carlos

That means that you've not got JServ installed correctly. Make sure
you've got mod_jserv loaded in your httpd.conf, that you've either
got the jserv daemon set to autorun, or you've run it yourself, and
that you've got the servlet root mounted in your apache configs.

This should (and from what I've seen, is) in the JServ documentation,
so you should be fine.

Once you've got that working, follow the instructions at

     http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/install.html

Which'll help you install cocoon itself.

Sounds very much like your servlet engine isn't working properly. Read up
on Apache-JServ at http://java.apache.org/ to figure out how to fix that.

refer to http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/install.html for installation
instructions.

I think I figured out what the problem is and I have no idea how to fix
it. When I try to run JServ by hand, it says that the dll is not supported
by the version of the Apache server I'm running (Apache for NT 1.3.12) Is
there any way to get around this problem that doesn't involve compiling
things by hand (I don't have a compiler to work with)

Thanks
