NIO Connector in Tomcat

Question

I'm trying to enable NIO Connector in Tomcat 6.0 by configuring server.xml file, but I'm getting Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8081. in the browser whenever I type localhost:8081.

This is how I've configured NIO connector in Tomcat 6.0. May I know what's the problem?

<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8081" protocol="org.apache.
coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" redirectPort="8443"/>

Solution

I've tried your tag on my server.

Your Connector tag has one unnecessary space between apache. and coyote Remove it or try with the one below.

<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8081" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" redirectPort="8443"/>

It should start up.
