1. Perform one of the following tasks: • At the Run prompt, enter services.msc. From the Windows services dialog box, you can start, stop, or restart the Tomcat 6.0 service. • Double-click the Apache Tomcat icon from the status bar and click Start in the Apache Tomcat Properties dialog box. The Tomcat service starts running. • Open the /bin folder and double-click tomcat6w.exe to start Tomcat. You can start, stop, or restart the Tomcat service from the Tomcat Configuration dialog box. 2. To verify that the Tomcat server is running, open the Tomcat home page in the browser window. To do so, enter http://: in the address bar of the browser window. Note: By default, Tomcat installs on port 8080. If you see the Tomcat home page, Tomcat is running. To resolve any issues, you can view the Tomcat logs at /logs. 3. (Optional) Configure the database using the Configuration Manager, or select the option to use the built-in database.
