Oh i am likely having a major blonde moment and should be shot but here goes anywho...
i've installed the newest version of the JDK 1.5.0.9?
i then installed xampp, and following that the tomcat addon
looking on the xampp home page it says on the java/tomcat page that the service is successfully running on port 8080
click the link to localhost:8080 and all it does is lag, until it gives up and i have a white screen of... nothing
clicking the link to the jsp-examples etc takes its time until finally it comes up with a 503 error, which i understand to be an overloaded server...
would really appreciate some help with this.
i enclose a snippet of the mod_jk.log it makes for fun reading
