I noticed that quite a few people were having trouble with using the isapi_redirect.dll to integrate tomcat with IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 and I spent a few hours banging my head against the keyboard to come up with these amendments to the documentation. Hope this helps! 1) You should not have to edit ANY of the files in your tomcat directory in order to get the redirector to work! 2) You should have two environment variables installed one should be called TOMCAT_HOME and should point to the root of your tomcat directory (i.e. c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1). The other is called JAVA_HOME and it should point to the root of your java sdk installation (i.e. c:\jdk1.3). 3) In your registry when you add to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters -- Filter DLLs key. Make sure that you DO NOT include the isapi_redirect.dll in this string. For example if you have put the dll in a bin\win32\i386 directory in your jakarta-tomcat directory the key value should be c:\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1\bin\win32\i386 This was a major headache for me, even though the directions say FULL PATH they only mean PATH. For all of you that were always getting a 404 error because tomcat was always looking for /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll instead of the URL you typed in, this is the answer. 4) I am not sure about this one, it is only a suggestion. I had some problems when I would a) change the name of the directory from something other that what I unzipped it to (i.e. changing directory from jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1 to tomcat) b) installing on any drive other than my c: drive. These may have just been flukes and someone should probably verify but I have it working now and have no intention of touching my configuration. Good luck to everyone, I hope this helps and perhaps someone should make amendments to the troubleshooting section of the Tomcat IIS HowTo doucmentation someday. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
