Hi,

I'm using Tomcat for preparation for the exam. Starting from yesterday, localhost:8080 gives me an IIS homepage instead of Tomcat homepage. I had to use my ip address with 8080 to get Tomcat homepage. What can I do to make localhost:8080 a Tomcat homepage?

Thanks!
Jenny

It depends who is listening on localhost:8080, it looks it is IIS, so check its configuration. Try it with http://localhost:8080 .

That's what I use: http://localhost:8080. It used to be working, all the way until last Friday.

Look what is really listening on all your ports, maybe tomcat is on another port. You can use this tool.

Hello Jingh,
If you really have both IIS and Apache/Tomcat listening on port 8080, this is not a good practice, because the server that start up first will get the port and the other will get an exception from the operating system (something like port already used).
If you need to have both servers, I would suggest you to change IIS to listen on port 8088, or something like that. Just configure different ports, start up both servers and try them. It should work.
Regards,
Alexandre.

try stopping all the server instances you might have started using your IDEs.
And try to start it manually from file system.

go to "<Eclipse Folder>\apache-tomcat-7.0.8\bin" { E.g : "C:\eclipse\apache-tomcat-7.0.8\bin" } and open start.bat by double clicking or using the command prompt.

Then try http://localhost
