tomcat on a home machine???
Hello I have linux installed at home and have only a modem connecting me to the internet through a local service provider. My questions are: Is it possible for me to install and use tomcat without a permenant connection. If it is possible what files would need to be configured to allow me to do so. What url would I need to call to access tomcat's homepage. Apologies if this question has been asked b4. T:Irvine

RE: tomcat on a home machine???
This is a network issue more than a software issue. The Tomcat installation is no different with permanent or dialup connections, however your IP address will likely change every time you dial (as most ISP's use DHCP). Thus it will be impossible to resolve a domain name to the IP address of your server from the public internet, as it will change every time you dial. You will still be able to access your home page on your local machine (http://localhost:8080/ by default) but it will only be accessible on the Net by using http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/ where the x's are whatever dynamic IP address you have been assigned that time. Of course, if your ISP offers you a fixed IP address, you can get a domain to resolve to that fixed address and your problems are solved. Obviously, the server will only be available to the public when you are dialled up.

Re: AW: tomcat on a home machine???
He's running linux. He can run his own nameserver for his internal network (even if it's only one machine). He can also setup an ip-alias to one of the safe addresses (I use 192.168.xxx.xxx) and names like yyy.home.jay. Just to run Tomcat you don't need the full internet, though it helps to pretend... :) Since he's stated he doesn't want to run it as an outside server, this should do everything he wants. Thus it will be impossible to resolve a domain name to the IP address of your server from the public internet, as it will change every time you dial. yes, it is possible with services like http://www.dyndns.com. -- D.

Re: tomcat on a home machine???
I should add that I wanted to know if it is possible to install and use tomcat for test purposes. That is to develop and test programs at home and not make them available on the internet - not at least from my home machine. You can install Tomcat on a home machine. There doesn't need to be any connection to the internet other than to download all the stuff you need (Tomcat, Java, that sort of thing). I have Tomcat installed on a linux machine at home without any problems. Setup could be easier, but its not a difficult task either. I created a startup script for rc.d/init.d so that it would startup automatically. Good luck. I believe the license allows you to do pretty much whatever you want with Tomcat. -- D. Jay Newman !

Re: tomcat on a home machine???
You need a java jdk and tomcat. Have a look at this page for setup info on windows2000 and linux. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2001/03/29/tomcat.html Then goto http://localhost:8080/ once tomcat is running.

If you can enter a url of 127.0.0.1 and get what you expect to see then you can map it to localhost in the table. If not, then your network layer would seem to be hosed.
