The port attribute in the element is the one Tomcat uses to listen for shutdown requests on 127.0.0.1; it *must not* be the same as the port. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Set the address attribute of your element(s) in conf/server.xml to the desired IP address: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html Ah... I see what the problem was. I had the port set to 8080 but the port was still set to 80. Once I set the Connector port to 8080, I got in. Thanks for your help Chuck! I owe you one.

Must be some odd rules in place here (besides the IPv6). Is IPv4 disabled on this box? The current JVM levels can't run IPv6 only. > I can't telnet or ping.

RE: accepting requests from outside the host?
Thanks for the response Chuck. I took a look at the tomcat process on my box and it has this: sockname: AF_INET6 :::127.0.0.1 port: 8080 Basically, its localhost. I can't telnet or ping. Our ISP sysadmin disabled those on the firewall. Someone else said I need to bind it to the ipaddr of the box (OpenSolaris btw), but I'm not sure how to do that. Frank > Can someone pls point me in the right direction on > how to configure tomcat to accept browser requests > from outside the box? No configuration necessary - unless you changed something in server.xml, To= mcat binds to 0.0.0.0, so it listens on all IP addresses configured for the= box it's running on. There very likely *is* a firewall blocking port 8080= somewhere between your browser and the Tomcat system - it might even be on= your XP box at home. Can you reach the target system with a ping? -- +==+ | Crossroads Technologies Inc. | | www.CrossroadsTech dot com | | fgreco at REMOVEtheX!cross!roads!tech!dotXcom| +==+ -- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
