[java] How do you know if Tomcat Server is installed on your PC

I am using Windows 7 OS. I just installed jaspersoft server which installed Apache Tomcat and mysql as a bundle along with it.

I go to http://localhost:8080 and theres a message that says webpage is not available.

I am a beginner, and I would like to know if Tomcat is first installed on my computer. Can you tell me how I can do that ? ( I would also like to know if it has to be started and on what port it was installed.)

UPDATE

Heres something I did . i am really confused now . I found the location of the tomcat server. I found the server.xml file. The port in the server.xml file was listed as 8005. I also found start.bat which I ran. I now see that http://localhost:8080 works but http://localhost:8005 doesnt . Would you know why ?? The port 8005 should work because thats what was listed in the server.xml

The answer is


You can check in windows services if tomcat is installed it will be listed in windows services.

To check the windows service list of services installed on windows machine use

  WINDOWS KEY + R   and type services.msc

There you can find all the services related with Jasperreport server like Tomcat and MySQL with name starting Jasperreport server Tomcat and MySQL only if these services are installed and its need to be started by selecting the option.Then you can access it through browser using this link :-

   http://localhost:8080

default port for tomcat is 8080.


In order to make

     http://localhost:8080

work, tomcat has to be started first. You can check server.xml file in conf folder for the port information. You can search if tomcat is installed on your machine. Just go to start and then type tomcat. If it is installed it will give you the directory where it is installed. Then you can select that path and run it from command prompt. Example if tomcat is installed in C:\Programfile\tomcat. You need to set this path in command prompt,go to bin folder and startup. Example: C:\Programfile\tomcat\bin\startup. Else you can also run it by directly going to the path and run startup batch file.


In case of Windows(in my case XP):-

  1. Check the directory where tomcat is installed.
  2. Open the directory called \conf in it.
  3. Then search file server.xml
  4. Open that file and check what is the connector port for HTTP,whre you will found something like 8009,8080 etc.
  5. Suppose it found 8009,use that port as "/localhost:8009/" in your web-browser with HTTP protocol. Hope this will work !

Open your windows search bar, and search for the keyword Tomcat. If a shortcut file is found instead, you can open the source file location of the shortcut by right-clicking the shortcut file and selecting the Properties.
