installing tomcat 4 on iis

How do I install Tomcat 4.1 on IIS6

[mbatalha]

Im running windows 2000 server and I have been trying to install Tomcat 4 for the 2 weeks. Iva had no luck whatsoever.

Ive installed jsdk 1.4 but Im having trouble getting the servelts to work. I really dont know much about jsp or java servlets. My developer says he needs it on my server in order to run his scripts.

Please help.

Hi matalbaha and welcome to webmaster world!

Unless somebody here tells differently, my experience with Tomcat is that it will only run on Apache (Tomcat was made by the same people at Apache).

Now I don't know if there is a way to make it work on Windows, but I don't think so.

We came into a lot of problems with Tomcat too, but once it's running, its usually ok.

Your developer is right. JSP's and servlets witll only run on Tomcat. Tomcat is NOT a web server, Tomcat is an application server, wich makes a big difference.

:-) Hope that helps

Tomcat will run very nicely on IIS. You have to use port 8080 for your JSP pages however, unless you get into registry modifications.

Just follow all the directions carefully and it should work. I installed Tomcat on my W2k server without a problem.

HOWEVER, you might want to look into JRun from Macromedia, which is much easier to understand and very easy to integrate into IIS so that you don't have to use port 8080 for your JSP.

i think i installed tomcat properly because i can see the .jsp page and run all teh examples now. Now Im faced with getting my developers servlet working. I put his folder under webapps and tried to run it off port 8080 like
www.domainname:8080/mike/servlet/index.htm and it doesnt even show the page?

AM I missing something else. I know im close but i must be missing something.
