So my boss has a Tomcat folder that was running a website at his old job. I don't know how to determine the exact version but in the realease notes there is: "$Id: RELEASE-NOTES-4.1.txt,v 1.81 2003/10/27 13:40:27 remm Exp $" he wants to run it on a new machine, the OS is: Mac OS X Server 10.6.5
When I do "sudo bash startup.sh" I get: Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/Tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/Tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /Library/Java/Home But when I try to go to the page "localhost:8080" or "localhost:80" Safari says: "Safari can’t open the page “http://function2.basiceng.umr.edu/view” because Safari can’t find the server “function2.basiceng.umr.edu”." When I don't run the server as sudo I get things like Safari can’t open the page “http://www.localhost.com:80/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again. Likewise when shutting down the server without sudo: Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/Tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/Tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/Tomcat/temp Using JAVA_HOME: /Library/Java/Home Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:432) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:529) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:478) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:375) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:189) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stop(Catalina.java:581) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.execute(Catalina.java:402) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.process(Catalina.java:180) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:203) I don't mind running the server as root currently (I was just showing that to see if that was a symptom of another problem), but I was wondering how it can obviously find the correct previous web address but not find the server that is running it; is it for some reason trying to go to the previous website even though I told it to go to localhost? I tried changing all the files in the tomcat folder to being owned by my user name but that had no effect (that was impulsive hopefully that won't screw anything up later, let me know if so) I was wondering where I should start looking to resolve these problems. Thanks.
