Check the logs to find out what happened when you attempted to start the server. Is there something else already running on the ports tomcat is trying to use? What does netstat list as listening ports with and without tomcat running? Also what connectors are configured in your tomcat's server.xml?
As you can see way too many questions to offer any suggestions. --David On 2/22/2011 10:44 AM, Joel wrote: > So my boss has a Tomcat folder that was running a website at his old job.
