Are you sure tomcat has actually started?
When you first install tomcat and go to localhost you will be taken to the start page, there are already test jsp files installed with tomcat. There also documentation on the start page which you should read before asking others for step by step instructions.
Mr. angrycat i read the documentation and executed its instructions also but still i was not able to thats y i posted it on the forum.
if u r so frustrated to react like this in forums then noone complled you to reply to the query. its an open forum to help each other n not to cater to the frustration of some high minded people
Have you started the tomcat server?
First you have to create JAVA_HOME enviornment variable JAVA_HOME should point to your java installation directory
may be you have missed this step
you have to start the tom cat by clicking startup.bat located in the bin diretory of your tomcat installation :)
Thanks Arun,
i will try this and definitely tell u the result.
whine i was doing the setup it asked me for java directory n i gave the path. i think that is waht JAVA_HOME is.
where can i see the JAVA_HOME variable
i'm not getting the home page also

Inorder to start Tomcat you have to set an enviornment variable called JAVA_HOME which should point to your java installation directory
to set an enviornment variable right click on MyComputer--select Properties --advanced --evviornment variables there create a new variable JAVA_HOME unless JAVA_HOME is set you cant start tomcat .ONce JAVA_HOME is set start tomcat by clicking startup.bat located in the bin directory of tomcat installation
