Hi,
I have installed Apache and Jakarta Tomcat server on my Linux Server for port no 8080 and 8040. I am able to view the pages for Apache and Jakarta Tomcat on my Linux Server with the address as <IP-address>:8080 for Apache and <IP -Address>:8040 for Tomcat pages. This link for Apache server works on all client machines but after giving the link for Tomcat server it gives the error as "Attemt to connection for <IP-address>ort no is refused".Thanks in advance for help.

do u have firewall (iptable enabled on the linux machine?

Hi,
I hope i didn't enable them.Moreover i don't have information about it also. Can you help me ? How to enable iptables to view Tomcat pages?
Thanks & Regards

Essentially, copy the rules in /etc/sysconfig/iptables, or wherever your startup iptable rules are kept, and copy the rules for port 80, and change it to port 8080.

#iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
#iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

You might need to add --sport 1024:65535 to those rules, I don't remember.

if u already didn't configure iptables so that means you have full access to any open ports. so what I suggest is to install nmap and check the apache port i up or tomcat is up by typing:

nmap -p 1-50000 localhost

it will show you the open ports on the host

Hi,
I have made changes in /etc/sysconfig/iptables for port 8040. Now i am able to view Tomcat and application pages on Windows.

ok

glad to hear that

Should've thought of that!

Adding -sV flag would zero in on the exact port when a firewall isn't up.
