sorry, just noticed- you are running IIS, which (last time i saw it) runs on 8080 by default.
you can change your tomcat port easily thus: open up server.xml (you'll find it at $CATALINA_HOME$/conf) at line 54 or thereabouts you'll find a port setting- change the port to some port in the 8000 region. Here's the section from my machine, with the port set to 80(highlighted with ***): <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" ***port="80"*** minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/> At 05:27 PM 5/16/2002 +0100, you wrote: >simple and dirty, you've probably tried it already- >fire up a browser with localhost:8080 as the URL (making sure tomcat isn't >running) and if IIS or any other server is running, some sort of default >page should tell you what the server is. > >then you can kill it, (permanently if it's IIS ;)) >a. > > > >At 12:25 PM 5/16/2002 -0400, you wrote: >>Tom, >> >>I'm just running IIS 5 on XP Professional along with Tomcat.
