I am running Tomcat v.3.3 on windows xp box.
I start Tomcat from <tomcat_home>/bin/startup.bat and the following is displayed:

This shows that tomcat is successfully configured to default http port 8080
Althouh when I launch IE and type http://localhost:8080 it displays Page Not Found. Also tried http://127.0.0.1:8080 doesn't work.
I've made sure that the local address does not by pass a proxy server in my internet connections.
Please help me, I dont know what to do to get this to work?

Where did you put your html file that you are trying to hit?
It should be in <tomcat_home>\webapps\<app_name>.
You could then access the page at:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/myPage.html (my app being whatever you called your application).

Hey, I have tried this. I called my webapp /test and tomcat sees it ok when I start the server -

EmbededTomcat: Startup time 1313

The browser doesn't seem to be connecting to http://localhost:8080 at all.
http://localhost:8080/index.html should display Tomcat's homepage, I don't even see this. All I get is Page cannot be displayed in the browser.
Do I need to change my Internet Connections or anything?
Do you know of anything else this could be.
I have tried with other versions of tomcat ie 4.124 and 4.129?
Please help!
