Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: You need to have JDK 1.6 installed on your system in order for Tomcat 6.0 to work properly.

   To run your Apache server go to Start >> Run >> C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\bin\startup.bat To stop your Apache server go to Start >> Run >> C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.29\bin\shutdown.bat Now start preparing to run your first JSP page :
   Type http://localhost:8080/ in the browser if nothing opens.
   
   Type http://localhost/ this will open IIS pages.
   
   This means port 8080 is already captured by IIS so we need to set a different port for Apache Server. ,,, Now for first jsp page: ,,,,,, http://localhost:1979/myJsp/index.jsp In Case you are having any issue or for your further convenience you can create two environment variables, CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME as described below:
