Hi,
The problem has been fixed. Java was already installed in my system.
Problem Description:
- Code: Select all
The problem was that the installer and the zip file for installing XAMPP Addon TomCat needs only Java (SDK 1.5) while the latest one available is (SDK 1.6) {Check in HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Java }. The XAMPP TomCat Addon does not check for various versions of Java (Because of this, users who are new to Web Domain & XAMPP might feel handicapped about)
Solution (which I followed):
- Code: Select all
Nothing can be done from the installer as its an exe file. While I had
1. downloaded the zip file and unzipped it into the xampp folder
2. in the install directory of the xampp I had manually opened the install.php in this folder
3. search for the word HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\Software\Java and change the word 1.5 as (1.4 for older versions of java or 1.6 for newer versions of java : you can find the version of java in your system by the command java -version from the command prompt)
4. save and exit
5. run the setup_xampp.bat (preferably from command prompt)
Thats it.. Tomcat is installed in your system.
I hope this comes handy for people who find themselves landing in the same fix as me yesterday
Regards,
tvks
