How to find out if Tomcat Server is installed on your PC?

Question

I am using Windows 7. I just installed the jaspersoft server, which installed Apache Tomcat and mysql as a package with it.

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

I am new and I would like to know if Tomcat is installed on my computer. Can you tell me how I can do this? (I would also like to know if it should be started and what port was installed on.)

UPDATE

Here is what I did. I'm really confused. I found the location of the tomcat server. I found the server.xml file. The port in server.xml was listed as 8005. I also found start.bat, which I ran. Now I see that http://localhost:8080 works, but http://localhost:8005 doesnt. Do you know, why? Port 8005 should work because this is what was specified in the server.xml file

Answer 1

Port 8005 is used as a service port. You can send the shutdown command (custom password) to this port. It will not "speak" HTTP, so you cannot use your browser to connect.

The default port for delivering web content is 8080.

But other applications that listen on this port may happen. Thus, your tomcat may not start if the port is unavailable.

You asked: "How do you know if a tomcat server is installed on your computer?" The answer to this question: you cannot

You cannot determine if it is installed because it can only be extracted from a ZIP archive or packaged in another application (for example, JBoss AS (I think)).

Answer 2

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

To check the list of Windows services installed on a Windows computer, use

  WINDOWS KEY + R and type services.msc 

Here you can find all the services associated with the Jasperreport server, such as Tomcat and MySQL, with the name starting the Jasperreport Tomcat and MySQL server, only if these services are installed and if you installed it, you can access it through a browser using this link: -

  http://localhost:8080 

The default port for tomcat is 8080.

Answer 3

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

• Check the directory where tomcat is installed.
• Open the directory with the name \ conf in it.
• Then search for server.xml
• Open this file and check what the connector port is for HTTP, but you will find something like 8009.80.80, etc.
• Assuming he found 8009, use this port as "/ localhost: 8009 /" in your HTTP web browser. Hope it works!

Answer 4

To make

  http://localhost:8080 

work, tomcat should be started first. You can check the server.xml file in the conf folder for port information. You can search if tomcat is installed on your computer. Just go in and then enter tomcat. If it is installed, it will provide you with the directory in which it is installed. Then you can select this path and run it from the command line. Example if tomcat is installed in C: \ Programfile \ tomcat. You need to set this path on the command line, go to the bin folder and run. Example: C: \ Programfile \ tomcat \ bin \ startup. Alternatively, you can also launch it by directly navigating to the path and running the batch launch file.

Answer 5

Open the Windows search bar and find the Tomcat keyword. If a shortcut is found instead, you can open the location of the original shortcut file by right-clicking the shortcut file and selecting Properties.
