I have installed tomcat4 in mine Win2k for couple days and everything was fine.
From yesterday I found tomcat4 did work, not even the homepage(http://localhost:8080/index.html), and I tracked back and found it is case sensitive!!
all the tomcat4 folders came from downlaod in upper case and all source are in lower case( like http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/index.html ), to let thing works, I have to rename those folders to lower case one by one!
Anybody experience that? is this because I toughed some configration unconsciously

Yes it's case-sensitive. I never downloaded a tomcat distribution that had folder names in caps though.

I have seen things you people would not believe, attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, c-beams sparkling in the dark near the Tennhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.

Whenever you work with Java, ALWAYS be case-sensitive. It can not only save you some puzzlement, but if you ever need to run on a fully case-sensitive platform - for example, management got fed up with Code Red and ordered a switch to BSD - you'll have one less item to convert.
For the same reason, I recommend you always specify filepaths in "Unix" format. Java understands how to accomodate Windows, so there's less editing required there as well. Plus, in program code, the backslash character is an escape character, and I can't begin to count them number of times I've burned myself because of that.

Some people, when well-known sources tell them that fire will burn them, don't put their hands in the fire.

Some people, being skeptical, will put their hands in the fire, get burned, and learn not to put their hands in the fire.

And some people, believing that they know better than well-known sources, will claim it's a lie, put their hands in the fire, and continue to scream it's a lie even as their hands burn down to charred stumps.

Villains always have antidotes. They're funny that way. Here's an antidote disguised as a tiny ad:
