I just don't know what to say or how to thank u André. But i should say it;thank you so much for the attention u showed for this matter and the time u spent to write the email.
I do agreed with u that I didn't make myself clear so that people could help me easily. However, my problem is that I'm new to hosting websites and i don't know the basics, and what's the provider's responsibility in this case. I will search and get more information about this issue. And, then if i have any question or i need help i will ask you that. Tks again brave man and keep in touch :) On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 11:26 PM, André Warnier <a...@ice-sa.com> wrote: > abdelghni belfkih wrote: > >> First, I assure you that tomcat is already installed in that server, >> because >> i have seen the default page which shows that tomcat is successfully >> installed and works. >> > > Good to know.
