Thanks Stuart. When I try to telnet, I get 'telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused'.
When is run 'ps', I get: PID TTY TIME CMD 6367 pts/1 00:00:00 sh 6369 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 6399 pts/1 00:00:00 ps Those results don't mean anything to me. Can you tell if Tomcat is running? -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Lewis [sdl] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 12:55 AM To: Peter Urban Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Completed install but page cannot be displayed Hi Peter, Something to try to see if tomcat really is running: What happens when you type: telnet localhost 8080 If you get a message something like 'connection refused' then it sounds like tomcat either isn't running, or is not listening on port 8080. Have you looked at 'ps' to see if it is listed as a running process? If the telnet command does work (you'll not see any output, just a blank prompt) try typing: GET / HTTP/1.0 And hit enter twice. Hopefully this will return some HTML (the tomcat homepage). This would show that tomcat is working. If tomcat is working, it might be that your server is firewalled from your computer running the browser. I don't know what a default Ubuntu firewall config looks like, but assuming they give you one, it is possible (likely) that a non-standard port such as 8080 is blocked by default, and you'll need to unblock it. Good luck!
