Are you running as a service? If so, try running running with the startup script. The default "service.bat" doesn't add tools.jar to the "ImagePath". You will need to do this in order for JSP's to be compiled. The examples run because they are all pre-compiled and mapped as servlets. I don't see why they are because then you get questions like this where you think that JSP's work for the apps that ship with Tomcat, but not yours so you try to figure out what you are doing wrong when you aren't doing anything wrong because it is a problem with Tomcat itself. Plus it would make it more apparent to the Tomcat developers that tools.jar needs to be added to the "ImagePath" since the jsp examples won't work until that happens.
As for running over Port 80, are you fronting that with Apache or did you change the Tomcat connector config to use port 80? When you say images won't even load, I suspect it is bad configuration of the former. I suggest getting everything to work with the defaults with no jk connector stuff and only then modifying things to your liking.

OK, I get this message:
No Java compiler was found to compile the generated source for the JSP.
This can usually be solved by copying manually $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar from the JDK
to the common/lib directory of the Tomcat server, followed by a Tomcat restart.
If using an alternate Java compiler, please check its installation and access path.
I have tomcat installed in C:\Tomcat5.0 and %CATALINE_HOME is: C:\Tomcat5.0 JAVA_HOME is:C:\j2re1.4.2_04 which is where I have java installed
I can get tomcat to run and it loads the default tomcat page and I can load the examples but I tried creating a new context and I always get the error above. I just wanted one of the new contexts to be a folder with subfolders that contained images and that won't even load.
I'm running XP with Tomcat5.0.19-all settings are default for Tomcat except running on port 80.
I've installed Tomcat4.0 before and was able to get it up and running in no time. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, J.R.
