Problem starting tomcat
Help,
I hope I am sending this to the right place.
I just installed tomcat-3.2.2b1 this is how I installed it:
> gunzip jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2b1.tar.gz
> tar -xvf jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2b1.tar
>mv jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2b1/ /opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1
After doing this I added:
setenv TOMCAT_HOME /opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1
to my path and attempted to start tomcat for the first time just to see what
happens.
It sources a bunch of jar files. Like this:
>/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
Using classpath:
/opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1/lib/ant.jar:/opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1/lib/jasper.jar:/opt/tomc
at-3.2.2b1/lib/jaxp.jar:/opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1/lib/parser.jar:/opt/tomcat-3.2.2
b1/lib/servlet.jar:/opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1/lib/test:/opt/tomcat-3.2.2b1/lib/webs
erver.jar:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/lib/tools.jar:./:/usr/local/mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c
:/usr/local/jdk1.2.2
All of the files it sources are present on my machine
in the exact path that tomcat looks for them.
After this I tried going to http://localhost:8080 and I get "The page cannot
be displayed" message.
So I restarted apache and tried restarting tomcat (if it was even started)
and I get nothing.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Can you help me out?
