It is very simple to set-up, you just need to install the most recent compatible JDK (you probably have this already)
then get the tar.gz file for the version of your choice from here: http://tomcat.apache.org/ Set the JAVA_HOME the environment variable, it point's to JDK installation's root folder. I haven't installed anything on Linux, but on Windows XP I know that if the zip download is unzipped to a particular directory, tomcat can be started with startup.bat and stopped with shutdown.bat In Linux, similarly I think you should be able to do the same with startup.sh and shutdown.sh After Tomcat is unzipped to a folder, set the CATALINA_HOME environment variable to Tomcat installation's root folder. That's it, you can then start Tomcat with startup.sh and access it at http://localhost:8080/ by default, and remember to shut it down with shutdown.sh and not CtrlC Then, to see a simple JSP application, create a new folder under Tomcat's webapps folder. Put a JSP file with any text there. You can then access the JSP at http://localhost:8080/SomeFolder/somefile.jsp , in this case SomeFolder is known as the application's context. Anything in the ROOT context appears immediately after the slash here: http://localhost:8080/ The above covers the basics then, you can configure a Context XML file for your app and set other advanced configuration --- most of it is covered in the configuration docs but ask us if you have questions. -Rashmi On 4/18/07, John Calsbeek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I haven't the first idea how to go about that. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
