This is why I never got anywhere with JSP. PHP has that nice, convenient installer program. Anyway, I want to try to teach myself JSP (again). I'm trying to get Tomcat installed. I am following the instructions to the letter and still not getting very far.

C:\>apache-tomcat-6\bin\startup.bat
The CATALINE_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program

Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?
Many thanks.

Get Netbeans web pack edition, it has Tomcat built-in

CATALINA_HOME needs to point to the Tomcat directory and JRE_HOME needs to point to the JRE directory.
Set environment variables in the System Properties control panel.

Thanks penagate.
Side note, I installed Netbeans (with "web") and was immediately impressed. It installed and configured two web servers for me, Tomcat and GlassFish.

Yep, and if you had tried going to the customization section of the installation you could have installed Apache too
