Apache Tomcat not working

Question

I have CentOS 6.4 installed on VMware. Recently installed Java SE8 and Apache Tomcat server but I cant't connect to the server by using `localhost:8080' browser says Unable to Connect. I have also tried changing the connector port in the tomcat server config but still unable to connect.

etc/profile

PATH=/usr/local/jdk1.8.0/bin:$PATH
JRE_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.8.0/jre/bin
CATALINA_HOME=/media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5/

export PATH
export JRE_HOME
export CATALINA_HOME

host file

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

terminal on starting Tomcat

Using CATALINA_BASE:   /media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5/temp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/local/jdk1.8.0/jre/bin
Using CLASSPATH:       /media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat 8.0.5/bin/bootstrap.jar:/media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5/bin/tomcat-juli.jar
Tomcat started.

tomcat's log

/media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5/bin/catalina.sh: line 399: /usr/local/jdk1.8.0/jre/bin/bin/java: No such file or directory

Solution

Seems pretty cut and dry. You don't have Java installed. Or at least it isn't in the location that Tomcat is looking.

/media/new/softwares/Tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.0.5/bin/catalina.sh: line 399: /usr/local/jdk1.8.0/jre/bin/bin/java: No such file or directory

You'll need to to go www.java.com and download JDK 1.8.0 or some version of Java and install it to /usr/local/... and then change the configurations around in Tomcat so that it can find Java.

I have java installed command java -version shows java version "1.8.0" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode). Can you tell me how to change Tomcat configuration to let it find java

Try setting the variable $JDK_HOME, and exporting it similar to the other variables.
