Howdy, I haven't used the book. You should have a far more detailed error in tomcat's log -- if you post that we might be able to help more.
Before starting with the book's examples, ensure your tomcat installation is OK by running the examples. Also try the admin webapp, as that's a struts app. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Bajaj, Aparna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 3:35 PM >To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' >Subject: setting up the tomcat server for struts applications - HTTP 500 >error > >Has anyone used the book, Struts in Action by Manning Publications?
