I keep getting this error, I'm connecting to a mySQL database on the same Sun box as the webserver and Tomcat are running, I can use this same user/pass to connect through Perl DBI and everything is OK, but here I am told it's invalid. Have tried it using several different users, with no alphanumberic characters in user/pass strings. Does anyone have any ideas?

The various binary directories are for the web server connectors) The Where to install is where ever you like. If you read http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/~checkout~/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc /tomcat-ug.html?rev=1.6&content-type=text/html you should be able to install without any problems. If you need to integrate with Apache then you will also need to read http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/~checkout~/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc /tomcat-apache-howto.html?rev=1.3&content-type=text/html Aren't manuals a wonderful thing?

In looking for a webmail product to meet my needs, I came across "webmail", which despite it's rather generic sounding name, looks like a very nice package. It can be found at: http://jwebmail.sourceforge.net/ It recommends installing JServ. I was told JServ was a module for apache, but it is not in my apache modules folder. I was also told I could install it to my system (which is debian-linux-2.2-sparc) as a package (i.e.: "apt-get install jserv"). This doesn't work on my system, as jserv is found in the debian database but "has in installation canidates". Perhaps this means there is no sparc binary version? I find that difficult to believe. One of my friends who does some JSP work told me I should use Tomcat instead, as Jserv is obsolete. In looking at Jakarta.apache.org, I had more questions raised than answered. I looked in the binary download section, which only seemed to include i386 binarys ;(. I also read that I would need a java compiler to compile Tomcat!? Of course Tomcat serves Java Servlet pages, but I thought that Tomcat itself was written in C? Also, do I need to install a Java Runtime system to run the Servlets, or is that built into Tomcat? I get the feeling from reading some of te Docs that it isn't. If Apache is already the HTTP server, and you already have a JRE, it seems like Tomcat must be the connecting piece, and it seems to me like that would be a trivial amount of code, but obviously this isn't the case (but like I said, I am not experiences with JSP). I should follow my blabber with some concrete questions: a.) What exactly do I need to install, and where, on my sparc-linux box, in able to be able to run java servlet applications. b.) If I need to install a JRE, which ones are available/recommended for sparc/linux? c.) Is there, anywhere, a binary of tomcat for sparc/linux? I just want to run some JSP pages, not wrestle with trying to get Tomcat to compile on my system. thanks, Noah Silva --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
