Hi, I'm new to this newsgroup and have a vexing problem. I run tomcat using the startup script, for ex. /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin startup.sh and everything startsup with no errors, ie:
Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat5.5 Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat5.5 Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5.5/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun but if I go to localhost:8180 a blank page is displayed with no errors in catalina.out. Here's the output from catalina.out when I startup tomcat as above: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tail -f /usr/share/tomcat5.5/logs/catalina.out Jun 23, 2008 5:56:50 PM org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol start INFO: Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8180 Jun 23, 2008 5:56:50 PM org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket init INFO: JK: ajp13 listening on /0.0.0.0:8009 Jun 23, 2008 5:56:50 PM org.apache.jk.server.JkMain start INFO: Jk running ID=0 time=0/58 config=null Jun 23, 2008 5:56:50 PM org.apache.catalina.storeconfig.StoreLoader load INFO: Find registry server-registry.xml at classpath resource Jun 23, 2008 5:56:50 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start INFO: Server startup in 599 ms As I said I get the blank page when going to localhost:8180, and nothing added to catalina.out, so no help in figuring this problem out. As a comparison, I get the normal index.html page displayed when I go to /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/bin and run the startup script there and go to localhost:8080. (i have both tomcats installed. I'll explain more on this later) I did a search and there is actually no index.html page in my tomcat5.5 installation. I installed this version from the ubuntu(gutsy) repositories using apt-get. The /usr/share/tomcat5.5/webapps directory is empty there whereas the other, /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/webapps/ROOT/index.html, isn't. Not sure this matters, though. It seems like the home directories for the 2 tomcat installations are set up a bit differently: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /usr/share/tomcat5.5/ bin common conf doc logs server shared temp webapps work versus [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls /usr/local/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.14 bin lib logs RELEASE-NOTES temp work conf LICENSE NOTICE RUNNING.txt webapps Now to the reason I'm using tomcat5.5 instead of the latest version. I'm trying to do web development using eclipse. I had to install eclipse using apt-get also. (After a week of trying to get the latest version of eclipse working from a manual download, I gave up) So I have eclipse 3.2.2 WTP with tomcat5.5 and I have a sample webapp that I did using an eclipse tutorial, and everything seems to work, I can start tomcat server from eclipse with no errors, but the same thing happens. When I go to load the jsp it's blank. I am totally clueless on this one, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam Posner
