| Hi Matthew,
| Well I have the service enabled in my rc.conf... so going to 
| localhost:8180 shows me the default tomcat page saying its working 
| etc... the jsp examples work fine.
| When i try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/tomcat55.sh stop
| i get:
| tomcat55 not running? (check /var/run/tomcat55.pid)
| Thats it. tomcat55.pid contains 2039.
| I created a jsp file with just plain html in it... but when i browse to 
| it I get a HTTP 500 error (exception report).
| I have the file in the correct place according to the docs so Im not 
| sure why is not working... I have originally some small piece of jsp but 
| figured Id have to restart the server in order for it to work, which is 
| what Im trying to do now...

Have you checked that the script refers to the correct pid file?
