Tomcat installation problem

Hi,
I have downloaded the tomcat from the site and trying to install it.Once i
install the tomcat i could not see startup.bat in bin directory.What is the
problem can anyone tell me please?

 

What OS are you using?? Which version of Tomcat have you installed??

 

OS is Windows XP...Tomcat version is 6...

 

Can anyone explain me the whole procedure?...Starting wat has to be downloaded?...I just caopied Windows Installer from apache and executed the exe...What else has to be done?

 

Maybe below steps will help you:

1. Install JDK1.5 Full, latter is recommended
- J2SE Development Kit
- JRE (Java Runtime Environment)

*J2SE Development Kit 5.0 update 9 - JDK1_5_0_09 (jdk-1_5_0_09-windows-i586-p)
*J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9 (will install while installing JDK1_5_0_09) - jre1.5.0_09
* Install both at the same directory! (C:\Program Files\Java)

2. Install Apache Tomcat (jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28)
*Installing & Setup Instruction - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html

a) Follow the instruction and install (at default directory).
b) Select directory installed JDK1_5_0_09 for setup JVM (C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_09)
c) Start the Apache Tomcat service.
d) At IE browser, type http://localhost:8080/
e) The Apache page will diplay, meaning successful installed. Congratulations!
