TomCat

[Panda On Smack]

Anyone installed and run Tomcat on Windows IIS?

If so got any pointers?

just trying to setup a website from some backup files i have from linux server running tomcat and mysql.

i know nothign about linux and i need to delve into the site to figure some stuff out

ta

I have downloaded TomCat for windows and i also need to 'Download and Install a Java Development Kit' so im getting 'Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 1.4.2_05'

this should be interesting

I'm probably off-mark here, but don't you need a different Java download than the Runtime one if you want development?

i just want to be able to look at the site i have

ive downloaded and run/installed 'jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25.exe'

i now can go to my server ip:8080 and see the default web page

also the jsp example they give you work so im assuming its all ok?

now i just need to find the site files from my backup and put them somewhere to be run i guess

yes all should be working ok then.
As to where to put the files, i am afraid i couldnt tell you, its been way to long

(just try to figure where the default page is and trow it in there would be my best guess

The j2sdk dev kit is required to provide 'javac', the java compiler used by jasper (the jsp compiler) to turn your jsp pages into Servlets.

It will also require a JAVA_HOME environment variable set to the location of you j2sdk dev kit install directory (this may have already been done for you, those clever kids at Sun know their stuff)

You should also bear in mind, that if you installed tomcat to a directory that has spaces anywhere in the filepath, you might encounter problems.

You can now add your web content to %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/mywebapp

then you might be able to surf to it by using http://localhost:8080/mywebapp

maybe
