can't see tomcat through http://localhost

I'm using win2K

tomcat 4.0

JDK 1.4.0

(I have stopped IIS).

I start tomcat in dos.. all is well.

I cant see tomcat in browser. I get the error:

'page cannot be displayed'

Also when i shutdown tomcat I get the following.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger

at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.newInstance<LogFactoryImpl.java:463>

and it lists many destinations similar to the above.

this happens after the shutdown procedure reaches:

Using JAVA_HOME: myjavahome

can anyone help?

thanks

did you specify your port number http://localhost:8080

yes specified http://localhost:8080 and tried a few other ports by changing server.xml.

I've placed .gifs in a directory and tried to view them by typing out the url but still nothing.

got a feeling it's something with the classpath.. how can i check when it seems to be running ok on it's own?

I have IIS but i've stopped it running. and also i've got another web app called Zope but that's also not running.

cheers

Not to be rude, but, have you confirmed Tomcat has started properly?From the error messages on shutdown it looks like it may not have started properly. As you suggested it may be a CLASSPATH problem.
