Total newbie; but did spend a day: reading, searching, and debugging before posting.
Tomcat appears to start correctly when I restart Ubuntu VM, in that <ipaddr>:8080 presents me with the It works page. However, when use ./startup.sh or ./catalina.sh run, <ipaddr>:8080 presents me with a blank page. Due to the nature of my testing I need the ability to stop/start on demand. The /usr/share/tomcat6/logs/catalina.out only shows Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load INFO: Initialization processed in 1170 ms Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start INFO: Starting service Catalina Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/6.0.28 Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Mar 22, 2011 3:02:59 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 155 ms I did some manual configs after the install to fix a couple of errors (again after searching long and hard). These fixes seemed benign; but you never know. Tomcat 6.0.28 - Installed via sudo apt-get install tomcat6 o Java ioexception on ./catalina.sh stop and start, /usr/shared/tomcat6/conf/server.xml not found. § There was no conf dir, and certainly no server.xml there. I simply created a link to the server.xml file I found in /etc/tomcat6/server.xml o Then I got cannot find /usr/share/tomcat6/tmp § Yup, I manually created it. Ubuntu 10.10 (running inside Virtualbox 4.0.4, windows7 host) Any help is greatly appreciated. -Paul
