First, start Tomcat running by using the STARTUP shortcut created as a result of the previous lecture.
[
]
You will know it is finished starting when you see a DOS window with the following in it:
[
][
]
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1
Starting service Tomcat-Apache
Apache Tomcat/4.0.1
[
][
]
DO NOT close this window!  Tomcat will continue to run as long as this window is open.

You will see another DOS window titled "Finished - STARTUP."  This one is safe to close.

Second, open your browser, type ""http://localhost:8080" into the Address/Location bar, then press ENTER.  You should see the Welcome page for Tomcat.  This will only test that Tomcat is working correctly.  To test if it is working with Apache- well I have not quite yet got that working.
