Apache appserv and Appache Tomcat

[Force Flow]

Apache appserv is for webpage hosting and apache tomact is for java, servlets and JSP's. Now, if I install both on the same server, will I run into conflicts? Or is the backbone of tomcat included in the appserv package?

Let me do some research and get back with ya force, but TomCat is not built in to the appserv package. Appserv merely installs Apache, MySQL, and PHP and gets it set up to run for you. Only thing you should have to do is install Tomcat in the current apache directory. I'm not sure if the Tomcat client runs its own server process or if it has to coinside with a current apache installation to run. Let me take a look though, and I should be back with you by 11, and if i can't find any information, I'll look around during programming around 1:30.

Now if Tomcat can run standalone, you could go Apache regular on one port, and Tomcat on another if you are just testing. Shouldn't cause a problem unless they both go off the same service in XP and cause a conflict with the OS.

Edit: Here is a link for you to look at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/

I was reading through the FAQs, and it appears it can be used standalone or with a current apache install, either one.

I've been using tomcat for JSP and servlet testing and was thinking of setting up a server machine with both.

Thanks TT, what you saw confirms what I was thinking.
