Hi all

A client of ours wants Tomcat 5 to be installed on a CentOS 5 server, I naturally just ran "yum -y install tomcat5 tomcat5-webapps tomcat5-admin-webapps" which installed it without any errors. Then I typed in service tomcat5 start, and tries to access it as such "lynx http://localhost:8080/" but keep on getting an error "connection refused"

[root@vps06 /]# service tomcat5 start
Starting tomcat5: lock file found but no process running for
pid 19684, continuing
                                                           [ OK ]

I don't see any tomcat errors in /var/log/messages but get this:

[root@vps06 /]# tail -f /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out
   at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.start(catalina-5.5.23.jar.sonuy1u1.so)

   at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecks(libgcj.so.7rh)
   at java.lang.Runtime.exitNoChecksAccessor(libgcj.so.7rh)

I don't know Tomcat at all.

Can someone please help me with this?
