Thanks for the response, Daniel. At this point, I don't know if I would need more of the JEE container. Perhaps when I learn more I'll find a need for more services and features. I know that one app I had in mind to install on my server, would run in a Tomcat environment (not sure if that is the right word). The application is called Jena and it has various features and/or components that are part of the Semantic Web related technologies. Bruce

I first tried installing it with xampp. I had a hunch that the problem was that there might be a port conflict, so I tried a different ports but still it would not start from the xampp control panel.

It's difficult for us to comment when you're using a third party installer for Tomcat. I'd suggest using the standard Tomcat install process (i.e. download & unzip) instead. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/RUNNING.txt If you'd prefer an installer, Tomcat also has a Windows installer. It is listed as "32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer" on the downloads page. Instructions for the installer are here. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/setup.html#Windows If you have a problem with either install method, just post to the list and someone will be able to help. > It might be something as obvious as not having Java EE installed separately. Perhaps Tomee+ will provide all that is needed. What specifically do you need? Tomcat is not a full JEE container. It implements the Servlet, JSP, EL and WebSockets specs. http://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html If you need more then you could look at something like Apache Tomee or Apache Geronimo.
