Here's what I would do , granted I don`t have much windows experience but a couple things I `d try. If you can see the servlets, it may not be a port problem. Are you running through an http server such as apache ? I would think just maybe you have the runtime engine set as JAVA_HOME not the JSDK. The best way to approach is one change at a time.
1) Is it running as a service ? If so disable that so you can start and stop it yourself. 2) With tomcat stopped, does anything display on http://localhost:8080 ? 3) Change TOMCAT_HOME to CATALINA_HOME (may solve ), CATALINA_HOME should be the base installation directory (example c:\tomcat ) 4) make sure JAVA_HOME is set to java base dir (C:\j2sdk1.4.0-rc) 5) does it work ? 6) C:\tomcat\bin\shutdown.bat ( if not) 7) Open Server.xml in a text editor, look for: <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConnector" port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/> <!-- Note : To disable connection timeouts, set connectionTimeout value to -1 --> Change the port to say 9090 8) C:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat 9) try http://localhost:9090 or http://127.0.0.1:9090 10) Write me back with errors. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Frick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2002 2:42 PM Subject: Re: I'm getting no responses to my requests for help on this list > Adrian, > > I'm currently running on XP Professional using JSDK 1.4.0, JRTE 1.4.0 and > Tomcat 4.0.3.
