Tomcat connection refused from localhost

843841Mar 3 2005 — edited Mar 3 2005
I have Tomcat 5.5.7 installed as a stand-alone server on my local machine. I have installed Java jre 1.5.0 (5.0). The OS is Windows 2000 SP3. The install went without incident. I set system variables JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, TOMCAT_HOME.

When I try to access anything using tomcat, I get "The connection was refused when contacting ......" I've used ...
http://localhost
http://localhost :8080
http://127.0.0.1
http://127.0.0.1:8080
...and a number of variations to get at the webapps area. All give exactly the same response.
,
I can ping myself, but when I run Steve Gibson's IS Serve, it tells me the port is closed.

I think I have server.xml set up correctly. Any ideas. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
