http://localhost:8080/ doesn't display any page

[Gaelle]

Hello !

I have installed a jdk (1.1.8) and tomcat 3.3.1 on a windows NT station.
When I run startup, it writes : Starting Tomcat in a new Window, it opens a window and close it right after, and when I try

http://localhost:8080/

in a browser,
it tells me that it's impossible to display the page.

I've enough of Tomcat, can anybody help me please ?

Gaelle.

It may not be a problem but you probably should be using jdk 1.3.

It is good that you are using NT 4.0. Using 'localhost' should work, but you can also use the hostname for your machine.

From the information, it sounds like the server failed to start. Your previous postings indicate that Tomcat is having classpath problems. It is diffucult to explain classpath. You struggle with it in beginning and then later wonder why you did not 'get it' sooner.

Try using bat files below--modify to fit your directory structure. I recall having problems if I did not start tomcat from its root directory like in bat file below:
"call bin/startup"

When your server is successfully running, you will see another cmd.exe window which is the server's.

Hope this helps. Sorry I can't be more help. Keep at it.

set your classpath right in the batch file startup see that JAVA_HOME path is set right
try this
dont run startup
instead just run tomat and then see the error that is getting displayed.
reg viv
