FILE NOT FOUND EXCEPTION when running JSP with Oracle

[dendog]

hi all;
i am using oracle software with jdk1.2 Jserv and Apache.
I have my JSP file in the directory htdocs/Mem_project--the file is named inventory.jsp. When i call this file from my internet explorer brower i get a JSP error that is
JSPException:fileNotFound
i call it by doing /IPadress/Mem_Project/inventory.jsp and it gives me this error
However when i just type in /IPadress/ the oracle server home page comes up just fine--what am i doing wrong and why isnt my system recognizing that this jsp file exists?What am I forgetting
Thanx in advance
DENNIS

Sorry for stating the obvious, but check that your cases are correct, in the text you state Mem_project as the directory, but Mem_Project as the url.
Easy mistake to make. Jeremy Webb.

Have you checked out the various log files that Apache provides, as sometimes - not always - these provide useful error messages. They sometimes suggest where it is actually looking for your file.
Usually, the file not found messages are pretty accurate, in meaning that for some reason it cannot find the file.
Which user starts up the Apache daemon, does that user have access to your file ?
Try setting up an alias to point to your Mem_project directory, to see if this works.
Try putting just a plain html file into that directory, can the browser see that ? If it can then it is a JSP issue, which uses a different config file, although off hand, as it is a few months since I played with this sort of stuff, I cannot remember what it is called.
Hope this helps. Jeremy Webb.
