Tomcat

In the Tomcat directory, there is a bin folder. Inside that folder is a catalina.sh script. Open the terminal, and drag that script in (or navigate in the terminal to the folder that creates it).

You are going to call the script as so:

Type:

catalina.sh start

That will start Tomcat and after a few seconds, you will see in the terminal a msg that Tomcat has started. Open a browser window, and type:

localhost:8080

You should see the Tomcat splash screen.

well i'm still confused. i downloaded the zip, and unzipped it. now i have a folder with files in it, but nothing to launch/start tomcat (that i see).

i tried your command in terminal, but it said "setenv: command not found"

sorry i'm new to the command line

Sorry I assumed you would be covering this in class.

Get very comfortable and start reading up - http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/
