Re: Re: Installation Help Needed
Back to basics. Is it running? Look at your processes with something like ps -ax As far as I can tell yes. There is a line which I believe indicates it's running but it gets cut off and I don't remember how to make it word wrap. Re-directing it to a file is worse. /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04//bin/java -Djava.endorsed. dirs=/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19/common/endorsed -classpath Do you have a firewall running? Yes I use iptables and I run my own customized script. I have opened port 8080. Can you ping the machine? No because I drop those packets. Part of my firewall script, however, this machine is definitely accessible from the outside. Apache is running happily there as is a Cold Fusion Application server. I can get to my web pages just fine. Do a netstat -an and see if port 8080 is active. tcp0 0 0.0.0.0:80800.0.0.0:* LISTEN If I'm reading this right then yes it's active.

Re: Re: Installation Help Needed
This is almost certainly because you're running a firewall. It's kind of an involved topic, and not one I'm an expert on anyway, so you should check out this: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html Thank you for the reply. Yes I am running a firewall but I am familiar with it as I have been running it for years. I have opened port 8080 as I have other ports when I needed to. Beware: many distros have customized firewall software. Anyway, this isn't a tomcat problem. I run iptables. I suppose it could be a firewall problem, however, I am able to run other servers like Apache just fine but yet Tomcat is not. Perhaps there is some configuration that I failed to do with Tomcat or should it work right out the box with no modifications needed? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)

Re: Re: Installation Help Needed
Woo almost missed this one cuz it wasn't threaded under the others in my newsreader. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I have opened the port. I have done this for several other applications over the years. Games too so I know what I'm doing in that respect. However, I'm still not sure about Tomcat. I don't know if I configured things correctly or anything like that. What do you mean change the port in the admin console. The only changing of ports I saw was to edit the server.xml file directly which I didn't do since port 8080 works just fine for my purposes here. read on linux site about opening port :server port on the firwall or change the port in the admin console off tomcatl [EMAIL PROTECTED] administrateur http://entre-nous.qc.tc -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)

Forgive me but I'm unfamiliar with that command. I typed it exactly
as you had it above. Copy and paste even.
I did do a lsof -i -a and got a listing. I didn't see tomcat user or
anything that said tomcat even. Was I supposed to create a tomcat
user? I installed tomcat from the rpm.
Does that IP address match what your workstation (browser) thinks
is
www.mymachinedomain? e.g. do you have some sort of split-domain DNS
going, or a rogue hosts file?

Installation Help Needed (Solved)
Thank you much for your trouble-shooting help. I was able to get things working thanks to you. In the end it was my firewall script. The port was open as I said, however, I forgot that I had specified a port range for re-direction and yup 8080 was in that range. So I changed it to exclude 8080 and voila it all worked fine. I'd forgotten all about lynx heh. Lynx worked just fine on the machine as did telnetting to the 8080 port from the host machine. Which narrowed it down. So thanks again for helping me pin point it. I know someone else suggested that it was a firewall issue and I suspected they were right but I needed to find a way to determine that for sure and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what the deal was. I'd checked my script before but since I wasn't sure it was the culprit I didn't examine it as strongly as I just did. :) So thanks again.

(I'll assume that webcache = 8080; that's for you to confirm.) Next step: from the Tomcat host, try to interact with the port. Use Lynx if it's available; otherwise send raw HTTP requests to the port, e.g. telnet localhost 8080 Don't worry about specifying valid webapp paths and such: IIRC tomcat doesn't even send an error page when you connect from the browser, right? If that works -- even a tomcat error page -- try the same technique from your other machine. (telnet tomcat-host 8080 or lynx http://tomcat-host:8080/something) If that fails, then you're pretty much down to a networking problem (fw/router/host file/DNS mixup). Run ifconfig on the tomcat server to confirm the IPs are what you think they are. Issue requests to the IPs, if need be. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Installation Help Needed
No offense but sometimes we get burned by the silly little things. No offense taken. As a programmer I definitely have been bitten by the silly little things often enough that I'll try whatever. Everything seems to point to a firewall/router ACL issue. Are there any devices between the client and server? Doug Yup and it was. After I determined that tomcat was running and that I was able to view the start page with lynx (Man how could I have forgotten about lynx) I knew then it had to be firewall but I also knew it wasn't a blocked port. Everytime my firewall rules block something I log it and there was nothing there so I knew I opened the port up properly. Upon further inspection I realized that it was being redirected. One single line, easy to miss but it was me being lazy a while back. Basically my script closes every single port then I open up specific ones. Well I got tired of that and made a rule that redirected a group to another machine and 8080 (Which I never used before) was in that range. I took it out and voila it worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. I just know I'll have some other issues as I'm still new to tomcat. I have a client right now waiting to see something and I need to put something up there. I believe I have to create a context in server.xml so that he can do www.mydomain. com:8080/something. I've not done this before though. On my development machine I've used Netbeans to test and deploy stuff for me. Ah the learning never ends. :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)

Installation Help Needed
Hey all, Having trouble installing Tomcat 5 on my Linux box. I've installed the Windows version without any trouble but the Linux one seems not to be working and I'm not sure why. I downloaded and installed the JRE and J2SDK. I've set the JAVA_HOME variable. I installed Tomcat and ran the startup.sh. Everything seemed to be going fine. Then I tried to access my box from another machine and there is no answer. www.mymachinedomain:8080 doesn't even give me the default page. Can someone walk me through this or something? All the installation notes I've seen weren't very detailed. Any help would be appreciated. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stormblade (Shaolin Code Warrior) Software Developer (15+ Years Programming exp.)
