problem with localhost

[chandrika shankar]

Hello,
I am trying out my first servlet program on jsdk2.1.
After I start JSDK2.1 server ,I tried to execute servlet by
typing http://localhost:8080 on Internet explorer 5.0
The error message I am getting for this is,

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://localhost:8080/
The following error was encountered:
ERROR 207 -- Cannot access the proxy-cache server through the URL that you entered.
This means that:
You may not use this proxy to connect to that url.
I went through similar questions posed by others,but I could not solve it.
So anyone of you,please help
Regards
chandrika

Hi Chandrika,
If that's the problem try setting the path and classpath system variables.
I assume JSDK2.1 directory on C drive
path=%path%;C:\JSDK2.1\bin;.;
classpath=%classpath%;C:\JSDK2.1\lib;.;
and after setting the these variables run 'servletrunner' utility from your dos prompt or from windows explorer. Then try to run your servlet class file.
Your class file should be in c:\jsdk2.1\examples OK
I hope this would solve your problem

hmmmmmm.......
I would first goto the Preferences, Advanced Options,
Proxy and check if the Proxy server is enabled.
If enabled, I would disable it using the option "Connect
directly to the Inernet"
I don't mean to say that we cannot connect
to the localhost when proxies are on. I know
we can, I do use a proxy server.
$0.02.....

Hi Madhav,
I agree with you, but why should we disable the proxy connection, instead we can turn on
Bypass a proxy server for local address
option.
You can find it in tools->options->connection->lansettings.
Bye.
