This forum is for webservices and SOAP discussions. Here are the steps to Install Tomcat.exe
Step 1: Install Tomcat
a)Double click on jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3.exe
b)(Note: JAVA_HOME variable should be set already.
for eg : c:\j2sdk1.4.0)
c)Select the directory where you want to install Tomcat
d)Set the CATALINA_HOME variable to the directory where you have installed Tomcat. for eg : c:\Program Files\Tomcat 4.0
e)Add the CATALINA_HOME to the current path.
Step 2: Start the Server by clicking on the �Start Server� option, then open in browser

http://localhost:8080
If you are able to see the welcome screen, you have successfully installed Tomcat.
