lets see if you have everything right:
You have installed tomcat from an install available from the tomcat
website??
I assume yes - so that is out of question that the install file in corrupt.
SO probably you opted for a custom install and checked out that u did NOT
want examples to be installed. If that is true then it explains why you do
not have examples and other folders under webapps.
Ok - tomcat console having only those 4 lines is ok - every version comes
with its own messages - and I could swear that there was a tomcat version
that showed only that much.
The Socket exception - I too get it - but that is only when my database is
down ( I use mysql btw) - but since you have not yet deployed any
application let alone configure it with oracle - I would rule out any
databse probelms as of now.
So u can do this to quickly check if tomcat is up or not.
under webapps directory (there is one I suppose under TOMCAT_HOME/!!)
create a folder called
root
under root create another folder called
WEB-INF
in WEB-INF create an empty file called
web.xml
{enter this info into web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd";
version="2.4">
</web-app>
} no parantheses.
under the root folder previously created, create an empty file called
m.html
now restart tomcat and on a web browser address bar:
http://localhost:8080/m.html
If this still does not work, you need to make just one more change to
troubleshooot (and reach my wit's end)
stop tomcat
open server.xml
and add this line below the last <Context/> tag:
<Context path="/" docBase="webapps/root" debug="0"/>
then restart Tomcat
and give the same address on a browser.
It should work!!
