when browse i found someone have similar problem but not in running
webgoat, and the replier said that we need to use APR (Apache Portable
Runtime ) (http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html &
http://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/) ... i'm really lost on this one ...

Try using a lowercase webgoat in the URL: http://localhost/webgoat/attack

Lower case was the key on my W7 laptop. Thanks, can anyone tell me why?

Please fix this asap - cost me over an hour before I discovered that this was 
the problem.

The readme and all the lessons have been changed to show webgoat as lowercase. 
These fixes will show up next release.

This is probably a can of worms but everything has been changed to work with 
WebGoat with a capital W and G as of 5.4

• Changed state: Fixed
