I installed Tomcat 8 on a CentOS 6.6 server and did SSH tunneling to view the "successfully installed" page but all I get when I go to localhost:8080 is an empty page and when I checked my terminal I get the following error:
channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
But I tested it out with httpd start command and the localhost showed the Apache server page. I was wondering if anybody has a possible solution for this. I have googled around it came out to no help. I followed Installing Maven Ant and Tomcat
Figured out the issue was with the network and I can officially close this question. Sorry about the trouble.
