Tomcat 5.5.17 install; not loading pages
I have installed the JDK and Tomcat following the instructions from www.coreservlets.com and after starting the server, I can see the welcome page as well as all examples. However, when I copy a html and jsp page, per the guide, into the webapps/root folder they will not load. I receive a 404 error when loading both pages. I can java -version and javac -help from the cl and it works. I have made the correct changes to the environmental settings, I believe. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for your patience.

I used the Windows installer initally. After it gave me the same results I did the following.
Uninstalled all versions of Java on Pc
Unistalled IIS
Uninstalled all references to Tomcat.
Installed Java SDK
Unzipped the archive to the c:\install_dir
The Tomcat examples work fine.

Ok, I have figured it out myself. Unfourtunately the problem was so embarrasing I would rather not disclose it, but feel bad over the points.
Refund your points thats all.

No problem - we all make mistakes, its part of being human ;-) doesn't bring you down. If you could tell what the problem was, it would help other people who might have faced the same problem and who might come searching EE's knowledge-base for solutions to it.
I had the same problem with tomcat windows installer before, thats why I asked you
so how did you resolve the problem ? Did my comment made you use archive version ?

Ok, against my better judgment. :) For extremely new users to Tomcat. Users who are traditionally Windows bound, keep in mind, that Tomcat is developed by a foundation that originally targeted *nix solely. File names, directories, and urls are CASE SENSITIVE. So if this is your first adventure into a *nix born technology keep this in mind. Thanks for everyone's input! :)
