Daren, Steve, and David,
Thanks for the response. 1) I am just doing a straight tomcat, no web server. 2) The logs seem to be useless in this case. However I will post them at the end of my message. 3) I've messed around a little more and become more confused. First I was trying to get 5.5.17 to work, but realizing that the Tomcat I set up a couple of weeks ago was 5.5.16, I decided that I would use that tar and try and duplicate my earlier success. I unpacked the 5.5.16 and tried the following in the browser: localhost:8080 --- blank page localhost:8080/jsp-examples -- got the examples page, able to run the examples localhost:8080/servlets-examples - got the servlets example page localhost:8080/webdav -- get the index list So I stopped the 5.5.16 and restarted the 5.5.17 and tried the same thing with the following results: localhost:8080 --- blank page localhost:8080/jsp-examples -- got the examples page, only can run some examples, other give blank page localhost:8080/servlets-examples - blank page localhost:8080/webdav -- blank page So I decided that I would try what I was really after, and work on the JSF tutorial that I found via the my-faces page using 5.5.16 since it seemed to work better than ...17. I installed the my-faces examples and they worked, and I did part of the tutorial and it works. So I can server up jsp's with no problem apparently, just not the first one To get the logs below I emptied the log directory. Started the 5.5.16 instance of Tomcat, opened a browser and typed in the 4 urls above. Thanks, Steven Peacock catalina.date.log (same as catalina.out) Apr 28, 2006 8:50:14 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener lifecycleEvent INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/lib/i386/client:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/jre/../lib/i386 Apr 28, 2006 8:50:14 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol init INFO: Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080 Apr 28, 2006 8:50:14 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina load INFO: Initialization processed in 1972 ms Apr 28, 2006 8:50:14 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService start INFO: Starting service Catalina Apr 28, 2006 8:50:14 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngine start INFO: Starting Servlet Engine: Apache Tomcat/5.5.16 Apr 28, 2006 8:50:15 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost start INFO: XML validation disabled Apr 28, 2006 8:50:15 AM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR INFO: Deploying web application archive simple.war Apr 28, 2006 8:50:16 AM org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator feedStandardConfig INFO: Reading standard config org/apache/myfaces/resource/standard-faces-config.xml Apr 28, 2006 8:50:16 AM org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator feedClassloaderConfigurations INFO: Reading config jar:file:/sharetwo/java_apps/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/simple/WEB-INF/lib/sandbox.jar!/META-INF/faces-config.xml Apr 28, 2006 8:50:16 AM org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator feedClassloaderConfigurations INFO: Reading config jar:file:/sharetwo/java_apps/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/simple/WEB-INF/lib/tomahawk.jar!/META-INF/faces-config.xml Apr 28, 2006 8:50:16 AM org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator feedContextSpecifiedConfig INFO: Reading config /WEB-INF/examples-config.xml Apr 28, 2006 8:50:16 AM org.apache.myfaces.util.LocaleUtils toLocale SEVERE: Locale name null or empty, ignoring Apr 28, 2006 8:50:17 AM org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener initFaces INFO: ServletContext '/sharetwo/java_apps/apache-tomcat-5.5.16/webapps/simple/' initialized.
