Problems running JSP examples on new Tomcat installation
Lisa Gerlich
I have just installed Tomcat 3.1.1a on a RedHat linux 7.3 intel box.
I downloaded jre1.3.1_07 from SUN and placed it in /usr/local/java. I
set JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jre1.2.2 and modified the PATH so that
JAVA_HOME/bin is the first directory search.
I used bin/startup.sh to start the Tomcat server and it started with
no complaints as far as I could tell.
I can connect to port 8080 and run the Servlet examples just fine.
But, when I try any of the JSP examples, I get the following output in
the browser window: (The output is the same for any of the examples).

Error: 500

It just seems like the problem must be some simple configuration that
I overlooked. The installation of Tomcat was simple but a little bit
confusing to get all the bits together.
Thank you,

the SDK (Development Kit). This is because *.jsp's have to be compiled
before they can be run. Tomcat will use javac to complile these files
and javac is not available with JRE.
