Localhost not working

[andrewdps]

Hi,

I've installed apache application server v7.I get a problem when I type the command localhost:8080

Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

# ps ax |grep tomcat
9463 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep tomcat


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

and the catalina.out is something like

/usr/apache-tomcat-7.0.2/bin/catalina.sh: line 364: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap: command not found

Hi,

I'm no guru on the subject, but the following suggests it's not running;

# ps ax |grep tomcat
9463 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep tomcat

9463 is the PID of your ps command. There should be another showing the PID of tomcat itself.

Also, does it default to port 8080? Thats "generally" an https, not http port.

Have you tried good ol' port 80?

Cheers,
Ian

I've figured out,manually restarting the server with "service httpd restart" made that working....
