Thank you for the answer, but I think it is not a network problem: "nslookup epigonesrv11" answers correctly on my computer: Nom : epigonesrv11.epigonedom.dom Address: 192.168.0.6
"ping epigonesrv11" answers also correctly (with some french in it): Envoi d'une requête 'ping' sur EPIGONESRV11.epigonedom.dom [192.168.0.6] avec 32 octets de données : Réponse de 192.168.0.6 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Réponse de 192.168.0.6 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Réponse de 192.168.0.6 : octets=32 temps=1 ms TTL=128 Réponse de 192.168.0.6 : octets=32 temps<1ms TTL=128 Statistiques Ping pour 192.168.0.6: Paquets : envoyés = 4, reçus = 4, perdus = 0 (perte 0%), Durée approximative des boucles en millisecondes : Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Moyenne = 0ms But "telnet epigonesrv11 8080" answers that connection on port 8080 is impossible: Connexion à epigonesrv11...Impossible d'ouvrir une connexion à l'hôte, sur le port 8080: Échec lors de la connexion As I explained anyway, all the firewalls are inactive, AND I can establish a connection with Tomcat 5.5.17 BUT not with Tomcat 5.5.29. All my installs are the simplest ever (always "next" in .exe installer; only unzip and launch startup.bat with zip distrib). I tried the windows .exe installers of Tomcat 5.5.17 and Tomcat 5.5.29, and the zip distributions of Tomcat 5.5.17 and Tomcat 5.5.29, and: - my computer contacts Tomcat 5.5.17 on port 8080 (either when installed by a zip or an exe) - my computer does not contact Tomcat 5.5.29 on port 8080 - Tomcat 5.5.29 is running, since it is accessible from the local server (I log on the server, and call http://localhost:8080, and I get the admin console) ------------ > Hi all, > > I have installed Tomcat 5.5.29 on Windows 2008 as a service. > It works fine on the computer where I installed it: http://localhost:8080/, > http://localhost:8080/admin, http://localhost:8080/manager/html, > http://localhost:8080/myWebApp answer well. > > But when I try to access it from any other computer of the local private > network, I get a "Connection failed" error, ie. the URLs > http://myServer:8080/, http://myServer:8080/admin, etc... do not respond. > > NB: > - the firewall is inactive on the server and on the clients > - my configuration is basic: no AJP, no proxy, no cluster, I call Tomcat > directly on the default ports This : > - I tried a "telnet myServer 8080", which did not work That would tend to indicate that you have a problem which has nothing to do with Tomcat, but has to do with either - the DNS (name resolving of "myServer" does not give the IP address of your host) OR - something is blocking remote access to your host on port 8080 and this : > - I tried to install Tomcat 5.5.17 instead of Tomcat 5.5.29, and it worked !! > ie. the URLs http://myServer:8080/, http://myServer:8080/admin, etc... DO > respond !! > contradicts the above. There is a puzzle there.. To find out if there is a problem with name resolution, do this : on the same workstation where you tried the telnet command, enter nslookup myServer it should tell you the IP address of that host. If it does not, you have a DNS issue. To find out if there is a general network issue between the workstation and the server, do ping myServer In general however, instead of saying "it did not work", try to be a bit more specific. What exactly happens when you do telnet myServer 8080 Don't be afraid to paste the original error message here, we're polyglots. We even have mind-readers, but they appear to be on vacation right now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
