I've spent the last 3 days trying to get tomcat to run php as a servlet with no success. I have never used either before, so I'm not sure where my mistake lies.
Here's what I've done. I've tried to follow the instructions from sapi/servlet/README
0. I have a working Sun jdk 1.3.1_04 on my RedHat 7.3 workstation.
1. Install tomcat 3.3.1 from source according to the instructions. Tomcat can serve its example pages fine.
2. Configured PHP 4.2.3 like this: ./configure --with-pgsql --with-java --without-mysql --with-servlet Then I compile with "make". I also did "make install" as root.
3. Added the dir containing libphp4.so ot my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For good measure I also ran "ldconfig -v" and saw that libphp4.s0 was being picked up.
4. Add phpsrvlt.jar to CLASSPATH, even though it looks like tomcat ignores the classpath. So I also put it in the tomcat lib/common directory.
5. Merged the sap/servlet/web.xml file in with build/tomcat/examples/WEB-INF/web.xml from tomcat.
6. Created the test.php file with only "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" in it in a variety of places in the Tomcat filespace.
When I screwed up step 5 and edited the wrong web.xml file, then looked at test.php with my browser, I just got "<?php phpinfo(); ?>". Now that I have a better web.xml file I get java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet
(I've appended the full message below). Clearly it is now trying to do something with the file.
I'm clearly missing somthing--probably something simple--but I can't figure out what.
any help/suggestions/ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,
Michael
