+1 The description above sounds like the OP installed a brand new fresh copy of Tomcat, but have not deployed a copy his app on it. There is "manager" webapp available in the standard distributive, that allows one to see what apps are deployed. (Reminder: do not forget to protect the manager webapp by a RemoteAddrValve and by choosing a good password). >> After that, I tried using my router's IP (with >> Firefox), and I received an error message saying that "the connection was >> reset". >> >> What I want to know is what I need to do to access Tomcat (running as >> service) from web, taking into account that it works perfectly when running >> in the console window. > > There are differences between running Tomcat in the console and running it as > a service.

For completeness, there is "Windows" page in the FAQ. https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q7 Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
