Funny, I'm actually anxiously *trying* to be wrong here.

First, I started out with a server.xml which I'd modified to have the "8080"
connector modified to read "80" only, and it seems that nothing else I've done
has changed it, because I've been rechecking it at every turn, it stays still at
80.  I even decided to try the 8080 *anyhow*, by putting it in the lookup URL,
but that hasn't helped.  I wasn't really aware about how the apache server and
tomcat interwork.  I got that info last night.  If I have apache working, I have
my little demo url showing up.  If I don't have the apache server working, then
the browser tells me that it can't find anything at all at localhost.  I'd
configured tomcat to default to a directory listing, it does that, but I tried
to turn "listings" off, it STILL gives me directory listings to begin with.

I'm not sure what word to use in the /etc/rc.conf.  I've had tomcat6_enable set
to YES from the beginning, but I'm not sure it shouldn't be tomcat, tomcat60, or
maybe something with periods in it.  I need help on that, no script seems to be
helping me.

Was your comment about setting tomcat55 a mistake, or a real thing?  I don't
want to sound like some nitpicker, I'm just so desperate for a fix, I really
don't know the answer.

What I did about adding the APR, it was because of the log entry, I was looking
for any possible answer.  I'm still thinking that I need an answer about the
missing library, and how come the stdout log entry tells me that my
java.library.path is not bringing in the libs.  I need to fix whatever sets that
java.library.path.  Is that configured somewhere?

Thanks hugely for the help!
