I am new to Tomcat as well... But, does mms_test contain WEB-INF with web.xml, like other directories under webapps do? Try copy it from "docs" and see what happens. Also, if you pull mms_test out of webapps and restart tomcat, does the problem go away? Did you change server.xml from the default?
Hope this helps.

In fact my folder mms_test is already in teh webapps directory and when I try accessing it using http://localhost:8080/mms_test/index.html or just http://localhost:8080/mms_test/. I get the same thing "blank page" nothing is displayed. I am not sure what I need to do. P, in response to your email, my folder is in mms_test not in root, should i place it in root? also I am not sure exactly what you meant by "'META-INF/context.xml'" because i don't have any directory called "META-INF in webapps do i need to creat it? the context.xml is currently located in /usr/local/tomcat/conf. I am getting a bit frustated here, I definitely appreciate your help with this. also one more this i should mention, when restart the server couple of times using sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat restart I get 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 1-Feb-2009 2:22:58 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina stopServer SEVERE: Catalina.stop: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:519) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:469) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:366) at java.net.Socket.<init>(Socket.java:180) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.stopServer(Catalina.java:421) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39 ) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl .java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.stopServer(Bootstrap.java:337) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap.main(Bootstrap.java:415) 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 it doesn't change the problem: blank page again when I try to access http://localhost:8080/mms_test/ Your help is greatly appreciated thank u kindly zia On Sun, Feb 1, 2009 at 7:34 AM, Pid <p...@pidster.com> wrote: > zia mohades wrote: > > Hi there, > > > > I am currently having issue loading my own page using tomcat apache 6.0 > on > > ubuntu, here are the details; > > > > 1) when I start the server using sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat restart and then > > try to access the server via http://localhost:8080, i sucessfully > > get the welcome page and the logo of the tomcat > > > > 2) I then place my own folder called mms_tets( containing html files) in > > /usr/local/tomcat/webapps and then restart the server using the same > > command. however when try to access the http://localhost:8080 i get a > blank > > page.
