Tomcat: Starting tomcat in Mac OSX

When http://localhost:8080 isn't working, you may want to try starting the tomcat server.

I'm going to assume that Tomcat was installed at /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/

cd /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/bin
./startup.sh

p.s. During setup, make sure CATALINA_HOME points to /Library/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.18. If it is not, edit your .profile file and redirect the CATALINA_HOME environment variable.
