Two quick questions to start the debugging process - feel free to post back here if these don't help, and we'll see what we can do. Start Tomcat. In a command prompt, type: netstat -an | find "80" (or "8080" as appropriate). Does anything show up on the appropriate port? Does that change when you stop Tomcat? Are there any messages in Tomcat's log files that might indicate it can't bind to the appropriate address for some reason? (Proxy question removed after I noted your comment above - thanks for posting comprehensive information, it helps a lot!) - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
