A few simple simple things: Make sure the server.xml doc is configured right. I always check the contexts on 8080 to make sure the JVM is running and that the servlets/JSPs load appropriately. Make sure the httpd.conf file is configured with the correct connections into Tomcat. Are you using ajp12 or ajp13? Are they all set up right? Check the documentation again, just to be safe. Lastly, after you start tomcat, do you restart the apache process? Most important step there. Apache opens a socket and keeps it open to tomcat. If you cycle tomcat, you need to cycle apache as well. -- . . . tizzy L'enfers, c'est les autres. --Jean Paul Sartre, Huit Clos
