With the users defined to access the admin tools you are now ready to start the Tomcat 5 server and perform simple tests showing that it works.
# service tomcat5 start
Now browse to http://localhost:8080/ and you should see the Tomcat welcome page. If you click on any of the links under the Administration heading you can login using the admin username and password you chose, there are also a number of test JSPs and Servlets provided that you can test. All of these should work at this point.
