This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
I have installed Tomcat 5.5, but I can't get the test page to come up. when I go to http://localhost:8080 I get the message "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" I'm sure Tomcat is running because I can see it in Task manager/Processes. Could it be a problem with IE 7? I have the defaults for security and privacy. I have the envirinmont variables set up for Catalina_home and Java_home
Tomcat and MSIE live in two different worlds. As long as the browser can send a proper HTTP request and parse a proper HTTP response, it will work with Tomcat (or any server for that matter).
The first thing you should do as a web developer is shut off MSIE's 'Friendly HTTP Error Message" feature. It hides the real error messages from you.
I tried with Firefox and I get an "Unable to Connect" error. I unchecked the "show friendly HHTP messages" and I get the same "Ie cannot display the webpage message". What logs do I check? What else can I try?
