Tomcat 5 not working properly

[bkesting]

Hello,

I am trying to setup jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19-29.1 on an SLES 9 machine. I have installed the package and have IBMJava2-142 installed as well. I have environment variables setup as follows:

$CATALINA_HOME=/usr/share/tomcat
$JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-142

When I start up tomcat, I go to a web browser to test the installation by going to

http://localhost:8080

and all I get is a blank white page (using Firefox). I have done a netstat against port 8080 and have found no other processes running, but to make sure I even changed to a different port in the server.xml config file and still get the same result. What is possibly wrong with the configuration?

Thanks for any advice.

Brian

I figured it out, I had to define the CATALINA_BASE variable in the j2ee configuration file. Now everything works fine. Thanks for the advice.
