hi neal with tomcat4.0.4 there are no default webapps. (Prior to this there was a root context pre-configured) If you are getting a page that says 'There is no context available to process this request' or something, then it's running. If you are getting the standard 'The page cannot be displayed' (IE) then it's not. Which do you get. Also the first thing u should do is check the logs... try /usr/java/jakarta-tomcat4.0.4/catalina.out maybe your answer is there. or... try typing 'ps -aux' at the command line. If you see about 10-20 references to a process like "/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin/java -classpath /usr/local/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/lib....." etc then tomcat is running.
