Installation problem of apache tomcat 5.5.27 in centos5

Hi

I have installed apache tomcat 5.5.27 in centos5. I edited the server.xml file also. The startup.sh and shutdown.sh commands are working fine. But tomcat is not opening in the browser. Can you suggest me something or tell me the steps involved in installing tomcat. Is admin.tar.gz of apache tomcat required for its working ?

Please reply soon.

Remember - Tomcat relies on Java. So you need all three of:

a) Apache2 (your webserver)
b) Tomcat (your Servlet container)
c) a JDK ... and a means to invoke the JDK from from Apache on behalf of Tomcat.

Here's a good (albeit somewhat dated) howto:
