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.

Re: Re: Re: Installation Help Needed
I know it's simple but have you tried using the IP as in
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 ?
Just a thought.
Otherwise you might wish to confirm the port is open.
No offense but sometimes we get burned by the silly little things.
Since you are running from the command line you are starting as root (This
is the same as my TC4 box).
But I get only one line of output and one pid (I think that this may be due
to Linux flavors)
As a last ditch effort try this:
Shut down apache.
Change the port on the connector for Tomcat to 80.
Restart Tomcat.
Then see if you can get to Tomcat on port 80 instead.
Everything seems to point to a firewall/router ACL issue.
Are there any devices between the client and server?

(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 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What I did here was this:

For the archives:
lsof is a tool to LiSt Open Files. It lets admins match a port to a
process, among other things. Invaluable for troubleshooting.
Back to the original post:
{tomcat user} = use the name of the tomcat process owner ;)
You could also have run:
lsof -i :8080
I should've suggested that instead.
No big deal. The fact that you didn't see anything is the key:
Tomcat didn't successfully start.
So now it's a matter of digging through the logs.
Look for a file "catalina.out"

I believe the RPM creates a user and group "tomcat" for you.

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.)

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.
