JSP on Apache displays source-code instead of running!

[andersj]

Hello...

I have a problem with my Linux RH9/Apache/Tomcat setup!

Versions:
RedHat 9 with Apache RPM 2.0.40
J2SE SDK version 1.4.2_01 (also tried 1.4.1_05)
Tomcat version 4.1.27
mod_jk.so compiled for RH9 with Apache 2.0.40

What works:
- When I connect to

http://localhost

I see the default test page.
- When I connect to

http://localhost/test.php

(just a simple test... <? echo &quot;Hello World!&quot;; ?> ) it works fine.
- When I connect to

http://localhost:8080

I see the default Tomcat page and the jsp and servlet examples work like a dream.

The problem is:
- When I connect to

http://localhost/examples

I see the directory listing and when I click on the jsp or servlets directory the corresponding html page is displayed. However when I click Execute on any .jsp file I get the jsp source-code displayed instead of the actual jsp file being run. When I click Execute on any servlet I get Error 404, File not found.

I have followed the following How-To's without success!

I had a similar problem, I think you need to use

http://localhost:8080/examples
