Ubuntu: tomcat starts on terminal but not running on browser

http-proxytomcatUbuntuubuntu-12.04

I have installed tomcat 7 and jdk 7 on my ubuntu 12.0 machine. Though it has been properly installed as when I use startup.sh command it shows me on terminal the path of :

CATALINA_BASE CATALINA_HOME JRE_HOME CLASSPATH

But when I run it on localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 it shows page not found.

To avoid this I have added the proxy settings in my mozilla browser but still it shows page not found.Is there anything else remaining that I can try upon.

Check the STDOUT output of your tomcat process. It is usually named catalina.out. You can do this quickly by running as the same user as tomcat:

less  /proc/$(pgrep -f tomcat)/fd/1

Check also if tomcat is indeed listening on port 8080:

sudo netstat -tlnp |grep java
