I've been trying to run it on browser localhost: 8080 but it says "Site can't be reached" although it says Tomcat running in the terminal

I installed it via downloading binary version from website. 

omnis-MacBook-Air:bin omni$ sudo ./startup.sh
Password:
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-src
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-src
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-src/temp
Using JRE_HOME:          /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_91.jdk/Contents/Home
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-  src/bin/bootstrap.jar:/usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-src/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.

Here's Catalina.out

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

Also here's output from running:

omnis-MacBook-Air:bin omni$ ps auxw | grep java

Here's grep tomcat

  • rather than grep java try grep tomcat and see what shows up. On Linux its ps -ef | grep tomcat so might be similar on the mac – FearlessHyena Aug 30 '16 at 14:02

Based on your CATALINA_BASE I suspect you downloaded and are trying to run from src rather than the actual build

Make sure you're downloading the Core distribution and not the src (unless you want to build it yourself)

Then try running it and grep for tomcat which should show up

  • I installed this one. its's the same. Look at the output for grep tomcat above – Square-root Aug 31 '16 at 01:38
  • when you run via the Core distro do you still get CATALINA_HOME as /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.0.36-src? has the error changed or do you still get Site can't be reached? – FearlessHyena Sep 01 '16 at 20:29
  • I can't remember but I had someone working on it and they now we can see homepage but it's not properly displayed no css. Also if I click on any link on the page it says 500 HTTP Status 500 - Servlet execution threw an exception look at the picture above – Square-root Sep 02 '16 at 00:32
  • Ok the original problem is fixed now since Tomcat is running. It seems like you have application issues now. Your logs should have an exception stacktrace. Can you post that – FearlessHyena Sep 02 '16 at 13:40
