DigitalOcean Tomcat Setup

I finished following this Digital Ocean tutorial:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-8-on-ubuntu-14-04

Everything went ok and my Tomcat service is running.

The only problem is that I cannot access my tomcat web site as it says.

When I type in the browser: http://MY-IP:8080/

I get this in Firefox:

Unable to connect

If I do a wget http://MY-IP:8080 I get this on my home computer:

--2015-06-26 22:09:37--  http://MY-IP:8080/
Connecting to MY-IP:8080... failed: Connection refused.

This is a brand new fresh Ubuntu image 14.04, and I only have java and tomcat on it. It is my first time setting up Tomcat. Can somebody help me ?

Run this command to check on the status of Tomcat:

sudo service tomcat status

If Tomcat's status is running, check which port with this:

netstat -anp | grep tomcat

You can also just check if anything is running on port 8080 with this:

netstat -a | grep 8080

Let us know the results of that.
