hello! i have a problem. i want to install a nice JSP based forum, but for doing it i need two directories located into tomcat folder i think, Webapps and WEB-Info.

i've checked if tomcat was active on my hosting space and in cpanel i've found a link that show me alle services status, in the list tomcat was present but when i acces with my ftp client i can't find the directories tha i need

here i link a installation file that explain better than my exposition

Install Instructions

thx in advance for the help

Hmm.. I really dont have any idea about JSP/Tomcat and dont know how these things work. I wished if you had problems in PHP , I could have helped you in seconds

Why dont you just try creating those directories. First make sure that you are absolutely 100% sure that things are not going to work without them. Also, why don't you try creating the directories yourself

yea i've had the same prob..and techs like NilsC are absolutly no help.

i think it's a server side problem, such as permissions and visibility of these directories.

i'll try to create these directories by me, but u can tell me how i can to make a directory don't accessible by web?

Mind your language.. Nilsc is not a Tech here!!! He is an admin and hold the power to delete anyones account ( including you ) within a snap! And don't forget, this is a free hosting service. We just try to do our best. All we are doing here is a public service. We help and we grow our community.

We cannot hire Techs .. because you have no idea what is the charge for hiring techs. If you can pay them @ per Hour basis.. please go ahead.

That is why we encourage people who have knowlegde to contribute. So that we can learn from them and help others.

Fair enough, Opaque. I myseft have some ideas about your works. So, keep it up.

I'm quite happy with what I have from your service. Will be contributing without any more demanding.

Your time, work and money are appreciated.

I have forwarded a support request to the techs.. I will get back to you with their reply.

Well said Opaque! Nils may not know the answers to every single question, but he tries his very best and will go through a lot of trouble to help out. (example of knowledge Nils doesn't have : What is the meaning of life?)
He spends a great deal of time here, and I for one truly appreciate that He does this, between a full time job, his hobby and his family. As do most of the moderators and admins here.

Thank you for the confidence and compliment. It's the first time in my life someone have called me a tech...

I'm going to add that to my résumé and even quote you. I don’t know if you see a lot of the questions I do some I can help with and some I can’t. Some questions are already answered a 100 times over but members are too lazy to hit the search button and look.

In 90% of the solutions we give we had to look it up or do a search for it… because people are too lazy to do that. Unless an issue Is something I work with on an everyday bases I have to read up on it myself.

90% of Admin and moderating seem to be 100% babysitting of members. Support here are volunteers and people who need a higher level of support should go with paid hosting and pay for the support package. That way you will get professional help from professional tech support.
Nils (the tech)

Ive been very busy now.. and will be for another 40 days. After that I will learn JSP and teach you all who have doubts

I will post tutorials .. as I learn myself
