there are more, many more. start slow, nothing more frustrating then getting something to work and then doing 30 steps and retrying and seeing it not working. do one thing at a time, there isnt a whole lot of steps.
good luck, and if you get stuck dont hesitate to search the archives and see how many of us were in your shoes.

I have been struggling with Tomcat for several days and I am at the end of my rope. If I come across as irritated, I apologize in advance.
I simply want to learn how to write JSP. I have a book and I want to start working through it, but I am having trouble setting up a server to serve JSP. I currently run Apache to serve HTML and PHP. Ideally, I'd simply like Apache to start recognizing JSP and handling it appropriately. Unfortunately that seems to not be an easy task... I have tried using mod_jk to connect Tomcat and Apache, with no luck.
I finally gave up on trying to use Apache and I was just going to keep them separate. Now, how do I tell Tomcat to serve my jsp files??? I tried using the manager web program to add an application pointing to the correct directory, it accepts the command, but nothing is added to the application list and it doesn't serve the content like I expected it to.
Finally I said screw it, I'll simply put my experiment files in the document root of Tomcat and use that for now. Still no luck, it serves up the same default stuff, even when I rename the file.
My environment is the following: Fedora Core 2, Apache 2.0.51, Tomcat 5.5.4, JDK 1.5.0.
Ideally I'd like to do what I talked about earlier, having Apache "automagically" know what to do with *.jsp files. However, I'll take what I can get!
Thank you very much in advance. I can't explain how damned aggravating this whole thing has been.
Ken
