Error regarding Tomcat home page display

[sruthi laya]

Hi ,

I have installed tomcat 4.1 and started it using startup.bat
then i got the following


C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 4.1>cd bin

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 4.1\bin>startup.bat
Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 4.1
Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 4.1
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 4.1\te
mp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\jdk1.3


is this the correct way startup the server if so , then when i am accessing the homepage using "http://localhost:8080/" in the browser it is giving "page cannot display".

Please guide me how to continue with this ....

Thanks in advance .

Sruthi.

Two things to try:

1.) Disable friendly HTTP error messages in your browser so you can see if the server is responding with an error message or if, indeed, it isn't responding at all.

2.) Take a look at the log files in the logs directory of your tomcat install.
If it's not running, there should be something logged to one of those files telling you why.
