I am currently trying to install Tomcat 3.2.2 on a windows 2000 box with
IIS. I am really confused. Can Tomcat be run standalone as its own web
server? Or does it have to have a webserver installed (like IIS). I tried
to follow the tomcat_ug.htm file for installation. I went through the "How
do I Install the Binary Version of Tomcat" and when I got down to set
environment variable JAVA_HOME. I started to loose it. I don't have JDK
installed but I do have JRE1.3 installed (Is there a difference?) And what
is the Java interpreter, and where do I find that?
So then I moved on. I saw that I could use scrips to setup Tomcat. I tried
Tomcat env and I guess it didn't work.
Next I tried the Tomcat IIS How To. I followed the Installation. I
downloaded the DLL and put it in \bin\win32\i386
I went through and did minor changes to workers.properties. Then I went
through the painful task of adding the key and strings into the registry.
It is a new web server so I made the root directory the dir with the DLL
file. (Does it have to be a virtual dir?) I then added the filter and
restarted IIS. There is still a Red arrow next to the filter. That is when
I put everything down. (BIG HEADACH)
Thank you for your time!
