hi every body. i am a new user to this site and i need help from you all regarding installation and running of tomcat3. Can any body give me step by step details of how to install and configar tomcat and then where to save a simple java program containing jsp pages and how to set the paths for that.

with regards
gopes.

Use Tomcat 5 instead, Tomcat 3 is extremely outdated and doesn't understand current JSP programming systems which is what you should be using (JSTL mainly).

Installation is simple following the instructions from the download site (http://jakarta.apache.org ).

there are instructions on how to set up tomcat 3 once you have this running and are familiar with this I would recommend upgrading like jwenting said

hello

firslty you will need to check if you have a sdk installed, if this is not then go the http://developers.sun.com/.

make sure you have also changed the environment variables of JAVA_HOME to where the sdk is situated on your pc. once this is done, you can install Tomcat for this go to the jakarta website and download 5x, it;s the latest

Startup tomcat; if its has been installed correclty you will see the index.jsp on browser, if you enter http://localhost:8080/index.jsp


to run your own jsps, save them in the webapps subdirectory of wheer tomcat is installled


hope this helps!
