Orion Server Doesn't Work

[Rashid Ali]

I have install the Orion server to run Servlets or JSP and tried to configure it as per the instruction provided with their guideline and the Marilyn's instructions but it does not work and shows that connection to the server is not established.
Any help please.

Rashid,
Check if you have TCP/IP installed.

[Rashid Ali]

Dear Johannes TCP/IP is installed on my computer.
Any suggestion.

I'll play around this weekend and see what I can do Rashid. Will keep you posted.

[Marilyn de Queiroz]

Did you copy tools.jar from the JDK into the orion subdir (example: C:\orion)?

[Rashid Ali]

Yes I have copied the tools.jar in my orion directory Marilyn.
Best regards

Additionally, could it not be possible that i work with Tomcat server which i have configured and working with nowadays to work with your assignments.
Please advise

Could be Rashid, I played around with it today and if I follow the instructions I get it to work on both my notebook & the family PC.

[Marilyn de Queiroz]

I see no reason why you can't use Tomcat for the current assignments. It won't handle some of the assignments that are not yet public.

You will be much happier if you can get Orion working. I'm amazed that you had trouble. I think you are the first person I know of that was not able to get it working.
You are welcome to use whatever server you are comfortable with, but as Marilyn said, JRun won't work for the up-coming EJB assignments.
