tomcat included examples not working?

[Eli Lorimer]

Hello All,
I've recently installed tomcat and have zero problems getting it up and running and can access the main index page at localhost:8080 but when I click on the jsp or servelt examples link off the main page I get this error:
Apache Tomcat/4.0.6 - HTTP Status 404 - /examples/jsp/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Status report
message /examples/jsp/
description The requested resource (/examples/jsp/) is not available.
in my access log there's something about the context. I"m frustrated becasue this is a fresh install where I've messed with nothing. I'm running os x 10.2 (Jaguar) but am doing everything via command line. I really would love some help as I've wasted loads of time just trying to get the defaul examples working. Thanks in advance,
/dylan

Does the servlet examples work?
If they work. Did you set up the CATALINA_HOME variable?

Moving to tomcat forum.

neither the servlet nor jsp examples work. I'm still stuck trying to figure this out. Here's what's in my log file:

yes, I did set up the CATALINA_HOME and have double checked it's the correct value.
