Apache Tomcat installed and running, but localhost:8080 presents blank page in browser

Question

I am using Fedora 16, and I have installed Apache Tomcat, using the `tomcat6` package. In the terminal I have started Tomcat: ``` [rajani@localhost ~]$ sudo service tomcat6 start [sudo] password for rajani: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start tomcat6.service [rajani@localhost ~]$ ``` But if I browse to `http://localhost:8080` it simply shows a blank page. Please give me solution.

Accepted Answer

I had the same problem under Fedora 16; the Tomcat 7 packages installed correctly, but I couldn't see anything at localhost:8080. I googled around and found that I need to install some additional packages in order for the default webapps to work. Here is the solution that worked for me:

```
# sudo yum install tomcat-admin-webapps.noarch tomcat-docs-webapp.noarch tomcat-javadoc.noarch tomcat-systemv.noarch tomcat-webapps.noarch
```
