Thanks QM! This works now! :) yuppiii! I run the same command for the iptables with a bit change:
>iptables -t filter -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT 7\ -p tcp --dport 8080 \ -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT >service iptables save the -I option to insert this rule in a specific line number, in my case 7. And it works. My tomcat can be seen from the outside now. By the way, I managed to run tomcat from a user tomcat and not from root. :) Also, I added the following lines in the server.xml file at the very end. After the last </Context> tag and before the last </Host> tag: <Context path="/~dln" docBase="/home/dln/wwwdocs" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> </Context> This allows me to now see the jsp's located in /home/dln/wwwdocs as http://my.domain.com:8080/~dln/myfile.jsp But I would like to be able to access this file with no 8080 port at all, like this: http://my.domain.com/~dln/myfile.jsp Does anybody know how to accomplish this? I tested the following : http://localhost:8080/examples and http://localhost/examples and they both work fine. If I try to reach from the outside http://my.domain.com:8080/examples it works fine, but I cannot see the http://my.domain.com/examples -----Original Message----- From: QM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 6:18 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: three problems Clearly, my eyes aren't as sharp when I'm half-awake. Here's the culprit: : REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with : icmp-host-prohibited That's the tail end of the chain, so any rules appended to that chain (like the Tomcat rule I showed you) will never be reached. Rerun the "iptables --list" command, but use the switch to show rule numbers. You can then run the other iptables command I showed you, but use *insert* instead of *append*. Be sure to insert above that last reject rule. See the iptables docs/manpage for more info, commandline switches, etc. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
