The main rule of thumb is that "with simplicity comes limitation", and
"with flexibility comes complexity". A Tomcat install may seem complex
at first glance, but it's because it can do so much with it (IMO). There
are *so many* things you can do with it, and so many different ways you
can install it. It can seem a bit overwhelming at first. Once you're
familiar with how you want to set it up though, it's really pretty simple.
You're taking the right road here. You're becoming familiar with it and
once you do that, everything becomes a lot easier to understand.
HTH.

Jordan,
Much thanks for the response and thinking it over after I emailed this I
have some idea where I went wrong, so I'll try to fix it. But I am just
frustrated that installing Tomcat involves so much guess-work as
oppossed to having some clues. The people who develop Tomcat are
obviously a lot more intelligent than I am so they don't need an
installer but a dufus like me would love it.
Thanks!

I have been trying to install Tomcat 4.1.39 and failing miserably. My
fault, fair enough for that. But I am struck that when I installed
Apache HHTP there was an installer that gave me some warnings about
why it failed. I had messages that I could do a net search and learn
to fix.
The only thing that I found are some instructions for manually
installing Tomcat and I have no clue why it's not working.
