Problem
Even though tomcat5.5 is installed and *appears* to be running (ps -ef | grep tomcat returns an entry) when I entered the correct URL, nothing comes out. Strange, I thought. Turns out, it’s NOT strange. It’s just one of those things that is supposed to work that doesn’t when using Linux. Oh well…

Fix
See here - Can’t start Tomcat on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. Also, be sure to install the admin and webapps applications as well (sudo apt-get install tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps). Then restart tomcat to see the if it works.
