Question

I am trying to install, run and do something with tomcat for the first time.

apache-tomcat-7.0.16-windows-x86

I am running windows 7/firefox 4.0.

My first step is to run tomcat and be able to see some welcome screen on

http://localhost:8080/

I get the error that:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.

I connect to internet by using a data card, if this info is needed at all.

I have also downloaded/installed JDK,struts in the system, but I think the above step doesn’t need or clash with these things.

Answer 1

try with
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
