I have extracted the zip package in my home folder and I want to access webapps folder through localhost:8080, which files I have to change in order to get this done?
I have installed java-6-sun, paths JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH are set.
Edit: I work on Ubuntu 12.04.
IMHO Mitch's answer looks like it has a little error in it, assuming that Lunar did not unzip to /usr/share/tomcat6. If you are installing from the zip, then you should not be using /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/startup.sh instead you should be using $TOMCAT_HOME/bin/startup.sh where $TOMCAT_HOME is the directory that you unzipped into.
If you continue to have problems, please enter $TOMCAT_HOME and issue the following commands, and show me the output
pwd
sh bin/startup.sh
cat logs/catalina.out
Then, please attempt to load http://localhost:8080 and tell me the result seen in the browser.
