Hi Sonia,
Last thing you could try.. http://localhost:8040
This should normally (if you didn't change the port settings in the
.conf-file)
bring up the tomcat-homepage from where you can run some examples.
To verify whether or not tomcat is actually running, check for a dos-window
that kinda looks like this :
2001-03-30 03:11:41 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /examples )
2001-03-30 03:11:41 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /dennis )
2001-03-30 03:11:41 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /admin )
Starting tomcat. Check logs/tomcat.log for error messages
2001-03-30 03:11:41 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( )
2001-03-30 03:11:41 - ContextManager: Adding context Ctx( /test )
2001-03-30 03:11:42 - PoolTcpConnector: Starting HttpConnectionHandler on
8040
2001-03-30 03:11:42 - PoolTcpConnector: Starting Ajp12ConnectionHandler on
8007
How do you start your Tomcat ? By issuing the startup.bat in the
\bin-directory ?
This should automatically bring up the forementioned dos-window.
Maybe it'll help if I told you how I did my installs :
I first installed JDK 1.3 (from Sun or IBM, doesn't really matter for now)
Then I installed Apache (for the webserver-part).
Start Apache and test if it works : http://localhost
If your port 80 is occupied by another service (personal webserver or
anything..)
change the \conf\httpd.conf so that port points to 8040 (or antoher unused
TCP port)
After that I installed Tomcat 3.2.1.,
Now I copied ApacheModuleJServ.dll to <apache-root>\modules.
In the tomcat-root\conf copy the tomcat_apache.conf to my_ta.conf
change the httpd.conf in apache-root\conf, add :
include drive:\tomcat-root\conf\my_ta.conf
(e.g. include d:\tomcat\conf\my_ta.conf)
check whether these variables exist and/or are correct :
JAVA_HOME=drive:\<jdk13-root> (d:\jdk1.3)
TOMCAT_HOME=drive:\<tomcat-root> (d:\tomcat)
ok.. maybe you have to restart now.. (never a bad practice.. :) )
then.. open a dos-box.. go to the bin directory of your tomcat.
e.g. cd d:\tomcat\bin
now type : startup
another dos-box should open and the stuff should be running..
(ah.. be sure apache is running as well.)
good luck
Dennis
