Care to mention the Tomcat version you're using? > I copied the servlet-api.jar to the JDK directory\jre\lib\ext. Why?

Why? The Invoker Servlet is evil. It may be OK for a quick test but is a big no-no for any installation reachable over the net. I suggest you get used to create a webapp with a real deployment descriptor instead. > when I try to test the installation using the examples that come with tomcat > using the URL http://localhost:8080/ I get the HTTP 400 Bad Request message. > > This tells me that IE was able to connect to the web server but the web page > could not be found because of a problem with the address. What do Tomcat's log messages show? If you've not already done so, turn off IE's "friendly" error messages.
