Just Started JSP.How do we install Tomcat.?

Question

I tried following the book "Beginning Java Server Pages"

Publisher :-Wiley Dreamtech & Wrox.

The website of Tomcat has changed .

Can some one just give step by step instructions ,

including which file to download(For Windows Env.) from

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomacat/

1.Various Links etc.

2.I have already downloaded & installed

apache-tomcat5.5.26

3.Also installed java_ee_sdk-5_05-windows-nojdk

the book says to verify your installation , visit URL

http://localhost:8080/index.jsp

This will show a page of Apache Jakarta Project.

But in my case it's not working.

Answer 1

hmmm , have u downloded java???

n i guess u get tomcat in zipped form, unzip it in a drive.

see if on port no 8080 nothing else is working, or if u have installed jboss its deafault port is 8080. change that to lets say 7070 or any no u desire
