For the archives: lsof is a tool to LiSt Open Files. It lets admins match a port to a process, among other things. Invaluable for troubleshooting. Back to the original post: {tomcat user} = use the name of the tomcat process owner ;) You could also have run: lsof -i :8080 I should've suggested that instead. No big deal. The fact that you didn't see anything is the key: Tomcat didn't successfully start. So now it's a matter of digging through the logs. Look for a file "catalina.out" : I did do a lsof -i -a and got a listing. I didn't see tomcat user or : anything that said tomcat even. Was I supposed to create a tomcat : user? I installed tomcat from the rpm. I believe the RPM creates a user and group "tomcat" for you. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
