True, as long as you don't expect anything useful from pointing a browser to localhost:port. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

RE: accepting requests from outside the host?
Thanks for the response Chuck. I took a look at the tomcat process on my box and it has this: sockname: AF_INET6 :::127.0.0.1 port: 8080 Basically, its localhost. I can't telnet or ping. Our ISP sysadmin disabled those on the firewall. Someone else said I need to bind it to the ipaddr of the box (OpenSolaris btw), but I'm not sure how to do that. Frank Can someone pls point me in the right direction on how to configure tomcat to accept browser requests from outside the box? No configuration necessary - unless you changed something in server.xml, To= mcat binds to 0.0.0.0, so it listens on all IP addresses configured for the= box it's running on. There very likely *is* a firewall blocking port 8080= somewhere between your browser and the Tomcat system - it might even be on= your XP box at home. Can you reach the target system with a ping? -- +==+ | Crossroads Technologies Inc. | | www.CrossroadsTech dot com | | fgreco at REMOVEtheX!cross!roads!tech!dotXcom| +==+ -- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

I took a look at the tomcat process on my box and it has this: sockname: AF_INET6 :::127.0.0.1 port: 8080 That's not pretty. Must be some odd rules in place here (besides the IPv6). Is IPv4 disabled on this box? The current JVM levels can't run IPv6 only. I can't telnet or ping. Our ISP sysadmin disabled those on the firewall. Nice guy. Someone else said I need to bind it to the ipaddr of the box (OpenSolaris btw), but I'm not sure how to do that. Set the address attribute of your Connector element(s) in conf/server.xml to the desired IP address: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html What version of Tomcat are you using, and what JRE/JDK? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

RE: accepting requests from outside the host?
I can't telnet or ping. Our ISP sysadmin disabled those on the firewall. Nice guy. He said it was a security precaution. Actually I don't blame him. Someone else said I need to bind it to the ipaddr of the box (OpenSolaris btw), but I'm not sure how to do that. Set the address attribute of your Connector element(s) in conf/server.xml to the desired IP address: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/http.html Ah... I see what the problem was. I had the Server port set to 8080 but the Connector port was still set to 80. Once I set the Connector port to 8080, I got in. Thanks for your help Chuck! I owe you one.
