All Thanks for your help and suggestions. I finally got the install to work by the following:
1. I grabbed a more recent binary distribution. 2. I changed the port to 8888. It appeared that something was on port 8080. The strange thing was that the deamon did start (but I could not look at pages). thanks again dave lash -----Original Message----- From: Lash, David A (David) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 11:49 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Help with Tomcat Install? Hi all Here is the contents of webapps/ROOT WEB-INF/ index.jsp jakarta-banner.gif tomcat-power.gif tomcat.gif I also tried http://localserver:8080/index.jsp And got the same 404 error. So its like tomcat is looking in a different directory. Is there a config file that defines where tomcat looks for root files? (perhaps someone (at my site) changed this).

John, Root App does not have a servlet. The page accessed is a static html page ROOT/index.html. Then verify whether index.html file along with 3 image files is available at location ROOT app. Best Regards, Avinash R S ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Villar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 10:08 PM Subject: Re: Help with Tomcat Install? > I think that's not the case, look that he gets a 404 status from tomcat > with a "Apache Tomcat/4.1.18" signature at the end.... > the problem he's having is that the default servlet for tomcat root > isn't insatalled.... very rare indeed, but that's the case > > Shapira, Yoav escribió: > > >Hi, > >There is at least one of other possible cause for this error. > > > >Perhaps your shutdown cannot be completed normally.
