Can Tomcat4 run on Windows XP ??

[JavaJim]

I have not been able to get Tomcat configured correctly for a PC using Windows XP. The Tomcat version is 4.1.18-LE, and the JDK is version j2sdk1.4.1_01.

I've set the JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, and CLASSPATH variables, made sure there is no proxy for Internet Explorer, and tried all the tips/hints I could find for configuring Tomcat. When tring to connect to

http://localhost:8080

I get the error msg Website not responding.

Following the same steps for a PC using Windows 2000, everything worked fine...

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi.

For your information: I have Tomcat 4.1.18 (the full version) running as a service on XP professional without any problems. Some data:

Tomcat version: 4.1.18 (The full version exe install)
Java sdk: j2sdk-1_4_0_01
XP: Both SP1 and pre SP1 worked fine
Apache version: 2.0.43
Connector: I've had both JK and JK2 running

I installed tomcat in c:/tomcat to avoid path names with spaces in it. Apart from the CATALINA_HOME path, I can't remember any special configuration settings.

I just installed it using the howto at

http://www.sitepoint.com/article/305/4.

It didn't work for me until I realized that when setting the environment variables in XP I typed in the word Set before the variable name so that CATALINA_HOME was
SET CATALINA_HOME...not exactly the variable name I wanted!

Now I'm running.

Good Luck!

I have a tomcat 4.1.12 running fine as service on an XP pro machine. Did you check in your %tomcatHome%\conf\server.xml that the value in XML tag "Server/Service/connector/port" corresponds to the port you try to connect in url (8080) ? Water is not bad as long as it stays out human body ;-)
