I just looked at your link. Since your tutorial says to set the domain name I imagine that that's just what you did. If you did so, you wont be able to get to it with the address "localhost". I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that you can omit the name attribute of the <Host> tag and Tomcat will listen on *all* IP addresses the machine has. I know that it's the default for sure.

I followed the instructions in http://www.meritonlinesystems.com/docs/apache_tomcat_redhat.html which is linked from the Jakarta home page. I got smoothly (no error messages during installation or startup) to the step that says "test that tomcat is working by starting it and typing http://localhost:8080 into your browser. When I did that, I didn't get a response. That is, the browser said "waiting for localhost" but I never got a reply. I also tried the real name of the server, both locally and from another machine. I thought it might be a firewall thing, but the firewall is turned off on my server. I used nmap and it says that port 8080 is open for http/proxy. To make sure it was Tomcat and not my web browser, I used telnet: When I telnet to port 80 and say "GET /index.html"; I get the desired page back from Apache, but if I telnet to port 8080 and say the same thing, I get no response. (I have to use the escape character to exit telnet.) I checked the logs, but I don't see any error messages there, either in ~tomcat/logs or in /var/log/messages. I used "ps" to find the process, and there is indeed a java process running as expected: tomcat 30722 1 0 10:34 pts/1 00:00:23 /usr/java/sdk/bin/java -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/common/endorsed -classpath /usr/java/sdk/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/bin/bootstr ap.jar:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/bin/commons-logging-api.jar -Dcatalina.base=/usr/local/j I'm running out of ideas. I googled for info and also searched one of the mailing list archives, but since there's no error message to search for, I'm coming up empty. Can anyone suggest any more tests I can run to narrow this down? Thanks very much, Scott -- Scott D.
