Certainly you need Tomcat to bind to the real external IP address or 0.0.0.0 which means all IPs on the machine, although not so desirable from a control point of view.

When you have Tomcat running and set to the real IP address if you do "netstat -an" you should see it listed in the top section using the that real IP address, not 127.0.0.1 etc. If you are not seeing it listed correctly there then maybe you've not changed the correct settings for ofbiz/tomcat?

Sounds like your doing the right things just a little configuration issue somewhere to find...

Previously I had been using ofbiz with Apache and mod_jk and everything
was working well (except the certificate which is now sorted). I had
wanted to test a scenario so I changed to using the embedded tomcat.
However, now I can't access ofbiz from the internet. I can however
connect using Lynx (text mode browser) on the server itself.

Netstat shows only the IPV6 ports to be open not the IPV4 ones. I am
using a firewall but with 8080 and 8443 open. I have also cleared the
firewall rules and shut it down with no effect. I have also tried the
ofbiz conf files with localhost/127.0.0.1/real IP

Currently I have only one ofbiz running so there aren't any port
conflicts.

Ideas anyone?
