hi i cant work out why tomcat can't find index.jsp (win2kpro). its in the root directory and tomcat is running (its telling me the page is unavailable). the following is the results of the localhost_log.2004-03-09
while the following is the result of the localhost_examples_log.2004-03-09
it doesn't give me the tomcat 404 error page but give me the ie 5.5 erro page ? my environemnt variables seem to be in order ? can't figure it ? cheers chris
a couple things: 1) you're using 4.1.12, and the current version is 4.1.30. Lots of bug fixes and enhancements since 12, so is there a chance you can upgrade?
2) you're using the 'LE' (light edition). This was a badly executed version of Tomcat that will only run with JDK 1.4 and above. I'd try the non-LE version.
also, 'not found' is maybe not 100% accurate. it gives you the IE 5.5 error page... does that mean the 'friendly error' page? I'd turn this feature off for IE (found under Tools | Internet Options). That way you see the *real* error page that tomcat gives you.

Put the class in a package. Define the servlet in web.xml for the root directory. You are probably trying to use the /servlet/HelloServlet URl approach - this requires the "invoker" servlet which is present in Tomcat 4 but turned off by default. You are better off not using the invoker. See this FAQ here at the ranch for more.
