There are two techniques by which Tomcat 4.0 can be started:
* Via an environment variable:
- Set an environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the path of the directory
into which you have installed Tomcat 4.0.
- Execute the shell command:
%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\startup (Windows)
$CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh (Unix)
* By modifying your current working directory:
- Execute the following shell commands:
cd %CATALINA_HOME%\bin (Windows)
startup (Windows)
cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin (Unix)
./startup.sh (Unix)
After startup, the default web applications included with Tomcat 4.0 will be
available by browsing:
http://localhost:8080/
