Very basic web server hosting question
Hello! I am a new tomcat 5.5 user. I have created some JSPs and they run perfectly in my PC using tomcat. I want to make my PC a webserver, so that ppl from outside can access my JSPs through tomcat 5.5 running on my system. My PC is connected to a router and my router is connected to a cable modem which has a static ip address from my cable ISP. But after that I don't know what to do further. How should I configure my tomcat, so that ppl from outside can access my JSP website. hOW SHOULD i access my pc from outside through my linksys router from port 8080 in which tomcat is running on my pc.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
The reason no-one is finding this an interesting question is that it's not really anything to do with Tomcat. Your LinkSys router probably has a manual, or at least some basic instructions for how to map external ports to the internal server. CANADAFAST INC. wrote: Hello! I am a new tomcat 5.5 user.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
I don't care if anyone finds this question interesting or not. I just want a solution, if it were in the linksys manual then I would not have posted the question, I tried solving the problem by calling the linksys tech support, also had a chat session with them, but they don't understand the problem itself.

RE: Very basic web server hosting question
The point is, whether you were using Apache, IIS, or Tomcat, the problem you are trying to resolve is generic and not related to tomcat itself. Thus, this probably isn't the proper forum to direct your question. -Original Message- From: CANADAFAST INC.

CANADAFAST INC. who ever you're, getting obnoxious isn't going to get your issue resolved. As was pointed out by the previous responder, your problem isn't a Tomcat one, this is a Tomcat mailing list. If you know what you're doing you should no trouble accomplishing your task, I have a similar setup (for testing) and have no trouble access my webapp from anywhere on the web on my home PC. We had this discussion the other day. On 10/30/06, CANADAFAST INC. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't care if anyone finds this question interesting or not.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
Use your router's instructions to set port forwarding. You will need to specify the port the outside world will connect to, and what port on your machine those connections will be forwarded to. The details vary by router manufacturer and model, so we can't give you specific instructions. However, even this may not work if your cable company does not allow external connections to ports on their customers' systems, which is quite common if you have a residential (as opposed to a business) connection. If all of the above work, then the outside world will connect to http://your.static.ip.address:port/whatever.jsp, and it will be forwarded to port 8080 on your machine.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
Canada- record the dynamic IP that the Tomcat server is running on and have the other boxes reference that IP in browser e.g. Tomcat server = 192.168.1.100 now other machines reference by going to http://192.168.1.100:8080 if you dont want IPs then publish a hosts file somewhere e.g /hosts 192.168.1.100 tomcatserver 127.0.0.1 tomcatserver http://tomcatserver:8080 assuming u dont have bind/dns installed.. make sure the top entry is updated in each and every hosts file on each of the machine's on the network M- This e-mail communication and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information for the use of the designated recipients named above.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
I understand the frustration, but at the same time, this is a more or less basic web/network administration question. You need to read your cable router manual for how to forward traffic to a specific port (80) to a specific machine on the inside of your firewall or setup your server system to be in the DMZ. You'll also have to learn how to register a DNS domain name if you haven't already and point name servers to the public IP port your cable router is on. There is one point that could be considered tomcat specific. You may need to set proxyName and proxyPort on the connector in your server.xml receiving traffic from your cable router. It's mostly so the outside people get correct redirect responses and the links are written correctly. --David CANADAFAST INC. wrote: I don't care if anyone finds this question interesting or not.

Re: Very basic web server hosting question
I was being polite, (if a little indirect), as I'd noticed that it wasn't the first time that you'd posted the question. List members normally respond if the question is interesting, even if it's not relevant - which is the case here. It's not a Tomcat problem, ergo the Tomcat Users List membership is largely ignoring it. As I said, and others have pointed out, you need to configure your *router* to send traffic from outside to the computer on the inside, Tomcat seems to be working fine. As you seem to be a novice on interweb related matters, I'd like to introduce you to a concept called a search engine. There are several well-known types of search engine, one of which is particularly popular and is called The Google. You can find The Google by typing http://www.google.com; into your web browser. Follow the simple instructions to beseech the Oracle of the Interweb when the page has finished loading, and may your question be answered. Ahhmen.
