tomcat5 is installed but doesn't work on Ubuntu 6.06

Hi,
I have installed tomcat5 on my ubuntu 6.06 machine using synaptic and installed SDK and JRE as well.
I can run tomcat by /etc/init/tomcat5 start

but when I check http://localhost it says that page cannot be displayed.
http://localsot:8080/ also doesn't show antrhing. I even change the port to 80 in server.xml file.

Does anyone know how it is possible to see the page confirming successful installation of tomcat?

Can you use netstat -tpan to check and see if anything is actually listening on port 80? How about ps to see if Tomcat is running. It's been years since i dealt with Tomcat, but I remember it being somewhat of a pain.

Here is useful information I receive b netstat -tpan

Quote:

I have changed tomcat port to 8888 to avoid conflict with apache despite apache is not working on my machine anymore.

I can see tomcat running on port 8180 which is a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector. I even copied some java files and html files in /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/ROOT.
html files work, but for java files, only codes are visible.

Any idea what's wrong here?
