HELP please, I can not run http://localhost:8080/

Hi,
I have a problem with the Tomcat, I install tomcat 4.0 and I can start Tomcat but when I am going to the http://localhost:8080/, I can't open the page, it give me error with this message (HTTP 500 internal Server Error).
thanks
Bashir

Surely there must be more information - what shows up in the logs directory? What about messages in the MSDOS window where Tomcat is running?
Bill

Thanks Bill,
this is all message in the MS DOS window which is used by TOMCAT
