I installed a tomcat 7 on windows 7. To do so:
- I unzipped tha archive I got from the official website in the program files folder.
- I installed the jre 7.
- I set up
JAVA_HOME
andCATALINA_HOME
environnment variables - I ran the startup.bat from the bin directory: the command line window tells me
"org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start"
- when I open up a browser and type
localhost:8080
I get aHTTP 500 error
.
what's wrong with my install ?
