You don't say what "this" is, so we can't help you. > I installed JDK 6 and Tomcat 6, defined JAVA_HOME and > TOMCAT_HOME and setup > have a Host and Context in server.xml for www.mysite.com. I invoke > catalina.sh start and get a process running, but I can't reach mysite. *Exactly* how are you trying to reach it? From what computer, and what are you trying as the address? If it's www.mysite.com, have you changed your hosts file or DNS so that it points to your computer rather than off into the Internet? What happens if you browse to http://localhost:8080? > I should say that apache httpd 2.0 is already running on this > machine and my > www.mysite.com is reachable there, so I figured > www.mysite.com:8080 would > take me to tomcat. Is that a correct assumption? IE. Should > I be able to by httpd by tacking :8080 onto the url? If you still have a default server.xml, this should work. However, you've changed your server.xml. You haven't bothered to post your new one, so we can't tell whether this would work or not. > If I kill apache httpd (I have no intention of using it going > forward), will > updating server.xml with port 80 rather than port 8080 > automagically get > everything to work, or is there other stuff I need to do > before Tomcat will > run as a standalone webserver? With the default server.xml, simply changing 8080 to 80 (and ensuring the process at least starts as root, which is why jsvc is so important) will be all you need to do. With your server.xml? Nobody on the list will have any idea.
