Hi All,

   I've been working day and night trying to get Tomcat started and to get past the 
HTTP 500 error when trying to invoke the JSP examples.  I've been combing the 
archives, but I'm not seeing any real solutions.  What must I do and where must I go 
to get help?

   First it would be helpful to know what is going on.  When I try to start Tomcat I 
get the following (See below. Only providing first few lines of trace).  When I try 
//localhost/examples  I can execute the servlets, but not the JSPs.  On the JSPs I 
always get HTTP Status 500 messages.  I've followed the recommendations to recheck the 
classpaths and environment variables (JAVA_HOME and TOMCAT_HOME), but this hasn't 
helped.  For one thing I don't understand why port 8080 is already in use.  How can I 
check?

Thanks,
Gary
