This may or may not be the case, but any time I've ever gotten the dreaded blank page response, it was caused by an exception processing the request. Late enough that an error message couldn't be included in the response. What do the logs show? Are there any errors at the time of the request? Also, have you verified no other process is on 8080 instead of tomcat? Logs will show that to.

Steven,

What web server are you running, and have you correctly connected the
web server to your app server? Check your web server access logs to
verify that the web server is receiving your browser request.

This has nothing to do with his webserver. He is directly accessing tomcat via 
port 8080.

However, looking at the tomcat logs might give a clue as to what the problem is.

after tomcat install

After successfully installing tomcat on a server a couple of weeks
ago, I decided I wanted a local copy to play with. So I downloaded the
tar, extracted it and started tomcat, When I go to localhost:8080 I
get a blank page. Absolutely nothing but white space. As a matter of
fact, I can type anything I want after and get the same result
(http://localhost:8080/helpmeout)

My start up yields:
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.17
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.17
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.17/temp
Using JRE_HOME:       /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/

java -version yields
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I am running on Linux

Thanks,
Steven Peacock
