lsof -i | grep tomcat revealed port 8005 but there is nothing there
I looked at /var/log/tomcat/catalina.out (logfile) and it says
that it started at port 8080. OK... that is good news. I ran
the web-browser and apparently it runs forever - showing nothing
and spinning it's wheels...
I think the root-run version listens on both those ports by default. I
think 8005 was the JK2 connector to Apache and 8080 is the web content
port. (Been awhile since I messed with Tomcat.)
Without the "-i", lsof (list open files) reports all regular files, and can
be used to locate what files a process is actively using. You can also
strace a process to see what it opens over time. (Redirect output to a file
and filter aggressively as an strace log gets huge fast.)
Look up-thread for how to get Eclipse to run a private copy of Tomcat.
