Hey thanks, However I have a whole new set of issues that led me to get Tomcat6 working. I found /Library/LaunchDaemns/org.apache.tomcat.tomcat6.plist which I believe was launching and calling an older version of Tomcat. So, I renamed it so it wouldn't be called. In that dir there is also symbolic links to org.macports.tomcat6.plist and org.macports.apache2.plist. This looks more what I would expect. Now when i go to localhost:8080, I get a blank page with no errors. After a little digging on Nabble I found that a blank page means the port is in use. I checked tomcat/logs/catalina.err and sure enough it said "Jan 19, 2009 3:02:12 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start SEVERE: Catalina.start: LifecycleException: service.getName(): "Catalina"; Protocol handler start failed: java.net.BindException: Address already in use<null>:8080" I tried changing the port to 8081 in the tomcat6/conf/server.xml and now I get the index.html page that I expect. I can edit it and know for sure that it's accessing the right pages!
As a side, I did not explicitly set JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME or any other env variable. So, the big takeaway here is: 1) REMOVE ALL TRACES of earlier versions of tomcat 2) sudo port install tomcat6 , it works 3) for basic installs you have view http://localhost:8080 4) A blank page there means some other program is already using that port For my next trick, figuring out how to configure mod_jk Edoardo Panfili wrote: > > gbhumphrey ha scritto: >> Hi all, I've used macports to install tomcat6, and when I go to >> localhost:8080, I see the welcome the page.
