Hi, I've set up apache with PHP before, but only with extensive help from howto guides. Now I want to be able to test velocity (index.vm) pages on my home computer. I tried to set it all up, but it doesn't seem to be working.
Here is what I've done so far on my Windows XP computer: *Installed Apache HTTP server 2.2.3 (downloaded .msi file and ran it) *Installed Java 2 SDK 1.4.2.12 (downloaded an .exe and installed it. There is now a "java web start" folder in my start menu) *Installed Ant 1.6.5 (followed instructions in readme file... had a very difficult time figuring out how to modify PATH or set environment variables [didn't even know what these were and had no idea where or how to set them--still don't really understand what they do] I think ant is running fine because in the CMD prompt I typed things like "ant jar" and it did stuff.) *Tried to install Velocity 1.4. -Extracted files to C:\server\velocity. -Used cmd to navigate to the build/ directory, typed "ant jar-dep". It did tons of stuff. -The readme file said to "update your classpath to include Velocity's .jar file". I have no idea what this means. I found buildcp.bat in convert/ and changed it's contents from "@Echo off set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%1" to "@Echo off set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%1;C:\server\velocity bin\velocity-dep-1.4.jar". (I think I realize now that this was totally useless and stupid, but it will give you a good idea about how confused I am.) -I also navigated to the examples/ directory with the command prompt and typed "ant examples" which did tons of stuff. However, when I look at .html or .vm files on http://localhost/ in my webbrowser, either the velocity gets treated like text. What can I do to get Velocity up and running? I've searched the net extensivly for info on setting up or configuring Velocity in Apache, but my suspicion is that I'm missing horribly obvious things that are hindering further progress (example, maybe velocity isn't "installed" at all, but rather... ?) I appreciate any help a lot. Thanks!
