Assumptions:

• RedHat 6.1 Installed

• JDK 1.2.2-RC2 (or better) Installed

• Apache 1.3.3 Installed

Needed:

• JServ 1.1-2 using ApacheJServ-1.1-2_RH6x.i386.rpm

• JSDK 2.0 (no higher/lower) using jsdk-2.0-3.i386.rpm

Installation:

1. Install JServ package

2. Install JSDK Package

3. Modify /etc/httpd/conf/jserv/jserv.conf by
   un-commenting:
   "LoadModule jserv_module /usr/lib/apache/mod_jserv.so"

4. Modify /etc/httpd/conf/jserv/jserv.properties by
   changing:
   "wrapper.classpath=/usr/lib/classes/jsdk.jar"
   to:
   "wrapper.classpath=/home/httpd/classes/servlet-2.0.jar"
   
   NOTE: If any of your servlets need other classes in the classpath, then add a "wrapper.classpath=..." line for each of the needed classes/jars.

5. Start/Stop httpd (you may need to log out/in to get updated shell environment)

6. Test by pointing your browser to http://localhost/servlets/IsItWorking

7. Test the JServ status page http://localhost/jserv/
