> Greetings!
The problem has been fixed. Just by way of quick run-down, in case anyone else encounters this... 1. The supplied server.xml references "examples", and therefore MUST HAVE an examples subdirectory under the "webapps" directory. I found this out running tomcat with the "run" command, instead of "start". Start opens a new window, and the error is missed. The missing directory was plain to see in the error messages using "run". I added a dummy examples directory and everything worked. Then I checked the various 'server.xml' files, and there is one without the examples, and it works fine. SO - tomcat 4.0.1 is running fine. I then ported the same info over to Solaris (where the 'real' work happens - W2K is just a development environment), unpacked the binaries, set up my directories (with the no-example server.xml), and all was well. Only one Solaris glitch to report - Version 3.x has "stuff" in the shell scripts to make a good guess at "JAVA_HOME", while 4.0 has removed this. Too bad - but I just put it back, and all works well. CHeers, -Richard P.S. Replying above a quoted post is not merely for the MS-weenie. I am NOT an MS fan, would NEVER use "Ouchlook" or any Billy-ware virus-friendly software. I use Netscape for most email, Pine when I must. BUT - here in educational circles (I teach Java at the university / college level), "pre-replies" are a courtesy. We really hate reading 4000 lines of > >> >> >>>>>>>>>>>>> (zillions of nested quoted stuff) only to find someone say "I agree". SO - replying a the TOP of a post gets to the meat of the reply immediately. This is NOT a flame. Merely another point of view, that is NOT Billy-influenced. We have other, well-thought-out reasons for replying at the top of a post. > Subject: Quick Question... > Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2001 21:10:22 -0700 > From: "Richard S.
