To whom it may concern: Hi!, I recently installed Tomcat on my Laptop (I have to install it on my Company's Server, which is a Windows 2003 Server, but since this is my first time doing so I begun with my laptop).
I already got the http://localhost:8080/ working, but let me tell you that I barely understand the reason I have to install Tomcat, and thus I feel overwhelmed with all this configurations and settings. My Company wishes me replace their Lotus approach DB/interface with something more efficient and new, after some research I decided to implement MySQL, and Java JSP, I knew that I need to install Tomcat in order to display Java JSP pages, but that's all I know. I already went to the Administrator/JSP Engine Config HOW-TO section under my local host, but I get easily intimidated by all the terms used "Ant, jikes, forks, etc." Is there a section that explains all that, a glossary of sorts? Even though I have a pretty good idea of what all that means, I rather understand it before acting. I'm barely going to learn Java JSP as well as MySQL, which I know should be first step before diving into Tomcat, but this is an urgent shore and I'm stuck with doing it all at once. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You guys are doing a great work, I still can't believe that all this is open source since it is Top Notch Grade Thank you and have a happy new year! -Gustavo N. P.S. What is a local host? why is my http://localhost:8080/ pointing to a webpage within my computer? what is it doing? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
