INSTALLATION
I am using FreeBSD 5.2.1 with a fresh "minimal" install and a fresh 
ports update.  I installed and enabled Linux Binary Compatibility.  
Then I downloaded and installed the latest jdk1.3.1_12-linux-i586.bin 
from Sun.  This worked fine.  Its installed under /usr/local/jdk1.3.1.  
Next I installed jakarta-tomcat41 from ports under 
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat4.1.

VARIABLES
I added the following variables to /.cshrc
	JAVA_HOME /usr/local/jdk1.3.1
	CATALINA_HOME /usr/local/jakarta-tomcat4.1

RUNNING
I logged out and restarted the machine.  The screen said that 
tomcat41ctl started correctly on boot.  So I opened up my web browser 
(Links 0.9* from ports) and went to http://localhost:8080 and I the 
browser told me that the host refused connection.  So I tried to access 
tomcat from my laptop using Mozilla Firefox at http://192.168.0.2:8080 
.... same result ( I have no firewall on the server ).  So I manually 
stopped tomcat and restarted using /usr/local/bin/tomcat41ctl 
stop/start .... same result.... then tried with 
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat41/bin/startup.sh & shutdown.sh only to 
achieve the same result.

LOG
Under /var/run/tomcat41.pid or /var/run/tomcat41ctl  (i'm not 
completely sure what it was called... I'm at work right now) I think I 
remember it only saying "464" in the log file.

So... how did I mess this all up?  And how can I correct this issue.

Thanks
-Dave
