If your running windows, the easiest way is to just dl the exe

http://apache.mirror.digitalspace.net/jakarta/tomcat-4/binaries/tomcat-4.1.18.exe

or you can dl the zip

http://apache.mirror.digitalspace.net/jakarta/tomcat-4/binaries/tomcat-4.1.18.zip

and unzip it to your C:

Then read the documentation for more info

http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/index.html

Hey
thank you very much for ur help

i have downloaded tomcat-4.1.18

but what should i do to set my class path i read the documentation it asks to set environment variable java_home classpath but i dont see java_home \lib\tools.jar


thanks i appreciate ur help again

I think, and I may be wrong, it's been awhile since I used tomcat (i've moved to jboss), that tools.jar is under your Tomcat_Home\lib.

Did you run the exe or the zip? I thought the exe took care of all that.

Assuming win2k, you should have the following envrionment vars set up:
C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02 (i.e. C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02)
In your PATH variable you should have:
%JAVA_HOME%\bin; ignore the MIS, I'm a Programmer. I was young and foolish.

correction tools.jar should be in (with default setup)
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib ignore the MIS, I'm a Programmer. I was young and foolish.

another correction..can't seem to type today...Friday and all..
environment variables:
JAVA_HOME (i.e. C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02)

If all you which to do is just to test your servlets, you can also try using the java servlet runner from sun.
You can download it from
