Configuring Tomcat

Apache server on port 80 doesn't have any interference with Tomcat on port 8100.
Check first Tomcat log files. Could you send also error messages in that files if they exists.
Check httpd.conf of Apache server: it shouldn't contain port 8100

I'm wondering if its my version of Tomcat, 5.0? httpd.conf does not contain port 8100.

Hey,
     I think it was the compatibiity of the Tomcat5.0 i had the java1.4.2 version. Tomcat 5.0 needs the java 5.0 version. I uninstalled it, then intalled a  tomcat 4.1 version and everything worked smoothly. Now however, I'm having problems with my form. I have my action parameter invoking a servlet. the action button should say..
<form method="post" action="http://mydomain:8080/Production/servlet/editorServlet">
Where my file structure is:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\classes

I have the editorServlet.class and .java in the classes folder. Its not working.

shouldn't it be :
http://mydomain:8080/Production/editorServlet

did you define that servlet in web.xml in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF ?
Could you send your web.xml ?

pls check it out

for in context
it shud be like
<Context path="/Production"
    docBase="webapps/Production"
    debug="0"
    reloadable="true">
</Context>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to  have a directory structure like following

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\classes
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\lib
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\web.xml

And you should put your test.jsp in:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\


TOMCAT_HOME should refer to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\ and is used by the JDK to run tomcat.


You should have a url like: http://localhost:8080/Production/editorServlet

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and for classpath
Tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes\ to your classpath.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

let me know how it goes

A bientôt

There were 2 web.xml files that came with Tomcat. One in
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF
and another in
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf
Which should I copy and add
<Context path="/Production"
    docBase="webapps/Production"
    debug="0"
    reloadable="true">
</Context>

Also, my .class and .java files should be in the Production/classes folder? and not just Production?

You should modify web.xml in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf
and put .class file into webapps/Production/WEB-INF/classes

yes you need to modify the web.xml in  C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\conf
Let us know
Good Luck
Ronan

I am getting the following error...

HTTP Status 404 - /Production/editorServlet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /Production/editorServlet

description The requested resource (/Production/editorServlet) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/4.1.30

******************************************************
Here are the facts
1. Environment Variables:
(System)
TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\
JAVA_HOME=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05
CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib\servlet.jar;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\lib\servlet.jar
(User)
PATH=C:\Program Files\SSH Communications Security\SSH Secure Shell;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps\Production\WEB-INF\lib

2. Here is are xml files in conf
http://www.uvm.edu/~nspence/web.xml
http://www.uvm.edu/~nspence/server.xml

3. My file structure and url for the html for are correct.

Should I uncomment this out in web.xml?

<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

hello Zania

Change web.xml in the conf folder
Uncomment
  <!-- The mapping for the invoker servlet -->
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>invoker</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/servlet/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
And it will work.

Hello Zania
howz the overall process going on?
let us know

The question has been answered with the best possible means. The user did not come back in spite of providing her all help. The points should be split accordingly.
Thank you
Ronan

None of the experts suggestions worked. I uninstalled tomcat and re-installed and didn't do anything and it worked

I think the question shud have given grade B or C the last .
All provious questions on Tomcat and Apache were solved with the help of he links I provided .
The Asker failed to come back after 9/10/2004
I think the question shud be given graded B Or C atleast
