Please help me with Tomcat!

Hello all,

I am a newbie to JSP and Java Servlets. I have a RedHat v6.2 Linux server and I installed Tomcat to the server. The installation was very successful, and I included the tomcat-apache.conf to the httpd.conf. Restarted HTTPD and no errors at all.

Now I have this test JSP script, I tried to run it:

http://64.23.60.11/jsp/date.jsp

It's supposed to load the script, but it prompts to download the script! What's the problem?!

What could be the possible problems? I chmoded and chowned the JSP files. No result. Making sure the Apache conf files have the necessary commands such as

AddType text/jsp .jsp
AddHandler jserv-servlet .jsp

But afterall I can't find the solution to solve the problem. My dedicated host refuses to help me find out the problem BECAUSE they simply say they can't provide support on the Tomcat software.

All JSP experts here... any ideas?

Your help will be much appreciated

Thank you.

David

Ok,
You might want to try putting your jsp into your webapps/ROOT folder of your Tomcat distro. Then try accessing it with the address you used:
URL

Good Luck!

Ok I got my colocation host to fix the problem. Now the prompt download problem is over, but another problem arises. Some java classes are not found for some reason:

Any ideas?

You need to place the class file or the JAR file containing the class file for dates.JspCalendar in the WEB-INF/classes directory. Another option is to put the JAR in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Sincerely,
