I am a newbie to tomcat. I installed it ubuntu added the following line to bashrc file
export CLASSPATH=/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/jsp-api.jar:/usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet-api.jar When I run startup.sh it runs ok. Giving this message Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/local/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun But when I type localhost/8080 it says can't connect. What is the problem. Please help. I thank you in advance.
