I cannot bring up the tomcat page http://serverhost:8005
there are no errors logged in the /var/log/tomcat5 ; The server.xml file has The file is showing Server port="8005" and <Connector port="8080'> I know in firewall port 8005 is open. what is the connector port? Could it have something with page not showing?
