Tomcat: How to install Tomcat v4 on Microsoft Windows XP? [JSP / 
servlet / Java]

Steps: Overview

 1. Java Developer Kit (JDK) should be installed on your system

    Download e.g. from

       http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/

       or the latest at:

       http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/

 2. It is important to set the environment variable:

     e.g.

       SET JAVA_HOME=jdk1.3.1_02

     or a later version of the JDK

 3. Download the exe or zip tomcat file (e.g. jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2.exe)

    e.g. from URL

       http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-
4.0/release/v4.0.2/bin/

 4. Unzip or run the Java SDK file, e.g. by typing the command in

    an MSDOS box (where environment variable JAVA_HOME is set to
    e.g. jdk1.3.1_02 or later)

     jakarta-tomcat-4.0.2.exe

    Install this into the default directory.

    This should create a new subdirectory (e.g. c:\program 
files\Apache Tomcat 4.0)


 5. It is important to set the environment variables:
    (in general:

      SET JAVAHOME=<your JDK main directory>

      and

      SET CATALINA_HOME=<your Tomcat main directory>)

    ---

      for example:

       SET JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.3.1_02

       SET CATALINA_HOME=c:\progra~1\apache~1.0

 6. Open an MSDOS box, and start tomcat, by typing the command:

     c:\program files\apache tomcat 4.0\bin\startup.bat

    You will see that an MSDOS box starts up with
    the message that tomcat has started.

 7. Restart your browser, and type the following URL

     http://localhost:8080

    You should see the Tomcat homepage.
