In case of Windows in my case XP  -   Check the directory where tomcat is installed  Open the directory called  conf in it  Then search file server xml Open that file and check what is the connector port for HTTP whre you will found something like 8009 8080 etc  Suppose it found 8009 use that port as   localhost 8009   in your web-browser with HTTP protocol  Hope this will work
