Re: Quick clarification
TC can respond to requests on 80 if configured in server.xml to do so. It has it's own java based web server that by all accounts I've seen on the list is very close to as fast as Apache, just not as configurable. Unfortunately, if you are in a *nix environment, TC has to run as root to serve requests on 80 and that's a nasty security problem. --David Smith On Tuesday 13 November 2001 02:45 am, you wrote: When requesting a jsp are you using a port request? Apache by default is set up on port 80 (the default port for all webservers) i.e. http://localhost Tomcat is set up for requests to come on port 8080 i.e. http://localhost:8080 I'm sure you could configure TC to take requests on port 80 TC comes with it's own webserver so there is no Need for an apache install but there are many features inherent witha full apache install that are not present with TC's webserver - Original Message - From: Paul Pattison [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 12:34 AM Subject: Quick clarification I'm a little confused and was hoping someone could clear something up for me.

RE: Quick clarification
Ok, my next question is that I want to be able to run JSPs and PHP. Is that something that requires a full Apache install? I was recently reading about a Servlet that comes with PHP 4 that could process PHP files. It comes with a standard PHP 4 download. Has anybody else heard of this or better yet, got it working? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Craig R.

RE: Quick clarification
You still have to do some work to actually have to 2 talking to eachother eg install mod_webapp, or ajp module for apache, update the config files for apache). It just states that tomcat is ready and waiting for apache (which is I presume the default in the installation of tomcat). There is some documentation regarding this in the installation and is well discussed here on the mailinglists.
