Grumble, grumble - it's another file that has been left out of the .exe installer. It's in the .zip and .tar.gz versions. I much prefer the .zip over the .exe, since the .exe is also missing the script files which are useful while learning Tomcat. > Please also note that I DID NOT get the DEPLOYER or EMBEDDED > zips as I did not think they are needed. Correct. You probably do want the admin webapp, which should be unzipped into the Tomcat directory. Unfortunately, it only matches the directory naming for the .zip core download, so you have to do some manual copying to get it right when using the .exe installer. You never said which JRE level you have installed. If it's 1.4, you'll need the Compatibility Package, which again suffers from the same directory naming issues as the admin download when used with the .exe installer. If you have a 1.5 JRE (recommended), you must not install the Compatibility Package. > 2) nothing notable in the LOGs, everything is blank except > for jakarta_service_20061109.log which does not indicate errors. This indicates Tomcat never got started. The service log is just the installer creating the Windows service for Tomcat. Consider grabbing the .zip and installing that instead. The .zip comes with a script to create a service later once you're comfortable with Tomcat. > 4) I do not have a staic IP, I don't think it should matter > should it? Nope, not necessary.
