Hello World

I am still not able to run my first servlet here... Can anyone help me please.

1. I just downloaded Tomcat
and installed it at e:

2.While installation I gave port 9000. and now I start Tomcat by right-clicking an icon in the taskbar. when the service starts I see the page reading

"If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!"
at "http://localhost:9000/"

I have a static page in "myapp" directory (user-created) but I am not able to view it through... http://localhost:9000/myapp/test.html

What could be the problem? I am been messing around it from past many days. Please help.

myApp directory must reside inside Webapps directory.

Thanks ajith its working! !!

Surprisingly... I am not able to run JSP Examples and Servlet-examples. When I click on the "JSP-examples" at my default page and go to

"http://localhost:9000/jsp-examples/"

it says... "The requested resource (/jsp-examples/) is not available."

I have tried to read the server "status" through "http://localhost:9000/manager/html/list" it shows "Running-false" for

/myApp,
/jsp-examples
and /servlets-examples

Make sure the folder jsp-examples is available in webapps directory.

By default it is in webapps only.

This is the listing of applications at admin console.

If I click start it says.... "FAIL - Application at context path /jsp-examples could not be started"

Check the messages in the tomcat console and the log files in tomcat/logs folder. You may see some error messages to identify the causes.

Good morning all.
Thanks Bruce, just re-started my tomcat by going at command prompt and typing "tomcat5" with a list of messages... i finally have

and it waits.... hope this means the server startup is successful.

But http://localhost:9000/manager/html/list still shows false for the "jsp-examples" and "servlets-examples".....

The command prompt now has added some messages...

Finally done with it...
Lessons learnt.

1. Don't put a semicolon ";" after the value of the CATALINA_HOME or JAVA_HOME environment variables.

2. Use Zipped version for Tomcat installation rather than Windows EXE coz the zip version has the startup-batch file and you can list out the details easily as like...

E:\Tomcat 5\bin>STARTUP
Using CATALINA_BASE: E:\Tomcat 5
Using CATALINA_HOME: E:\Tomcat 5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: E:\Tomcat 5\temp
Using JRE_HOME: E:\java

Checking out if things are running fine with "myapp" now. Thank you all buddies.

Akhilesh,

Thank you for reporting back with your findings.
There is nothing wrong with using tomcat.exe.
The same messages that you saw on the console will go to the log files under tomcat/logs.

With a good text editor (such as TextPad) you can watch the logs as they are updated (real time).

In any case, this thread is more Tomcat specific than Servlet specific so I'm going to move it to the Apache Tomcat forum.
