Ok, got my router setup; currently forwarding 80/8080 traffic to my server. However, my server can't hit localhost, it says connection was refused from localhost. I get the same from my Alienware trying to hit to from 192.168.1.100. If I turn my Windows XP built in Firewall on my server, I can't hit it at all from my Alienware.
...so, why in the heck am I not even hitting localhost? Apache Tomcat is running in services, I can see my Flex apps work, and I even have a custom index.htm file in the ROOT of webapps. When I had Apache 2 or 1.3.x installed, I could see Apache's default localhost page. Any ideas? I'm still playing with settings. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Spaulding" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 8:04 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex on Tomcat If you just wish to access tomcat on your server via an ip address you should forward all traffic on port 80 directed at your server to 8080 on your server. This would be done on your router. You should still be able to access http://ipaddress:8080/flex etc without a port forward unless you're blocking traffic on 8080?
