Tomcat help...

[AFB]

I installed Tomcat 5.8? using the binarys. When I try to put a JSP file under the webapps folder I get a compile error? Any guides on how to do this?

tomcat *shudder*. I had horrible experiences with this. It took me hours to get it to work. My solution was going to an older version.

what do you mean? You just unzip it (or install it if you chose that distribution), set your CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables and you're done. Put your web archive file in the webapps directory and startup the container using startup.bat or startup.sh depending on your OS. It's not rocket science and it hasn't changed since version 3 of Tomcat (there is no 5.8).

Done all of that, restarted many times

CATALINA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Tomcat 5.0
JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03
Error below

Trying that now

It says I need Java2SeRTE 5.0 . Does that mean I need Tiger?

Did check the log for the full stack trace like it says at the end of that error message?

The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.28 logs.

Fixed with an older version.

Thanks WannaFly
