Tomcat starts but doesn't display webpage under window 7 ultimate

[chenchih lee]

Do anyone met this problem under window 7 ultimate version after install tomcat and service also start but http://localhost:8080 doesn't display tomcat home page.

i used the same method on window xp, it work normal.

i used window 7 ultimate, and tomcat i used 6.0 , and 9.0 both of them can't work on window 7, but under window xp it work normal.

I have no idea why the page can't show tomcat index page. Is there any setting need to change under window 7 ultimate.

Moving this to the Tomcat forum as it's not related to JSP's.

I have multiple versions of Tomcat installed on Win 7 Pro. I don't recall any special settings. What is displayed when you go to localhost:8080? Are you sure you configured it for 8080? Did you already have another server installed at 8080? Does the startup.bat file run okay and indicate that Tomcat is running?

i solve it. i changed the port to 9090 it will work.
Do anyone know how to see which service or task used 8080 port.

In Windows 7 you can use netstat to see which process is using the port, and then tasklist to find the associated executable.

For example, to find out what is using port 6000 on my workstation:

C:\Windows\system32>netstat -no | grep 6000
 TCP    0.0.0.0:6000           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       71392

C:\Windows\system32>tasklist | grep 71392
XWin_MobaX.exe               71392 Console                    1      3,800 K

If OP doesn't have Cygwin installed, he's going to be confused by your answer.

netstat -aon | more

The PIDs will be listed on the right side. Find the PID that is using port 8080 and use Taskmanager to find that process. On my system is just shows java.exe as the running process.

If you prefer a GUI to a command line, get CurrPorts from here.

Sorry, that's right - the native Windows command is findstr, not grep

netstat -no | findstr XXXX
tasklist | findstr ZZZZZ
