Apache-Tomcat installation hangs

[Graeme Byers]

My environment Win XP Pro 5.1 SP2 , IE 6.0 SP2.

I'm learning from Marty Hall's "Core Servlets and JSP" and following his latest instructions
(taking all defaults , no "detailed configuration") for Manual Tomcat Execution here :
www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial
All goes OK until 5.Test the Server (click "Details Here") then read 1. Verify that the server can start .

The start up hangs at : INFO: Server startup in 1194 ms

Here is the screen output from "catalina run".

My checkbox "Use a proxy server for your LAN" is unchecked.
If I check it , plus check "Bypass proxy server for local addresses"
I don't know what to enter for Address and Port.

MY heart always sinks when "install" is mentioned , so any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you , Graeme.

Define "hangs"--I'd assume it's waiting for requests at that point.

AFAIK TC still defaults to post 8080, so visiting http://localhost:8080 should get you the default splash screen.

Thank you David - I now have the Tomcat spash page.

Please be sure to ask Tomcat questions in the Tomcat forum. I have moved this post there for you.
