Hi to all! I have been using tomcat for linux and setting up users home directories to have a URL of the form http://localhost/~user works fine.
Here is the problem. I did the same thing with W2K. I changed server.xml by cut and pasting the tag needed so that the home directories of the user will have the form http://localhost/~user to work. But when I tested it using a "HelloWorld" servlet, it gave me a "no servlet" error. The html files worked fine in the public_html directory. I have a plain web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory. I copied the contents of the "examples" and placed it in one of the accounts I am configuring and it worked fine. What am I missing? This is what I did. 1. I created c:\home folder for user directories. 2. I created the following c:\home\me, c:\home\me\public_html, c:\home\me\WEB-INF\, c:\home\me\WEB-INF\classes, c:\home\me\WEB-INF\lib and c:\home\me\WEB-INF\web.xml. 3. My web.xml is contains "<web-app></web-app>." 4. I run tomcat and did http://localhost:8080/~me/index.html and it works. 5. I made HelloWorld.java and did http://localhost:8080/~me/servlet/HelloWorld. Restart tomcat. 6. Tomcat gave me a "no servlet" error. 7. I copied HelloWorld.* to jakarta.../webapps/examples/WEB-INF/classes and did http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/HelloWorld and it works. ============================ Joel Gatdula Pira Faculty IIT, UA&P Philippines --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
