It seems that IIS 5.0 is "greedy" with respect to available IP addresses. Even if you specify that it should only listen on particular IP addresses, if you specify a port with one IP address, it listens for requests on other other IP addresses with the same port number. This seems to prevent Tomcat binding to the address (although, confusingly, Inktomi Search managed to bind successfully to an address that IIS had claimed as its own...).
So it seems that I'm obliged to install Tomcat as an in-process ISAPI extension for IIS (as I can't insist that our customer switch to Apache or uses another port, due to their firewall and legacy webapps)... Tom Drake had suggested a HOWTO link, but it relates to Tomcat 3.3. How can I use Tomcat 4.0.1 (and/or the upcoming 4.0.2) with IIS ? Thanks, Chris Brown PS: if you're wondering how I came to this conclusion, I disabled Inktomi and Tomcat, and started up IIS. Then, using Telnet, I connected to port 80 on each bound IP address. In *all* cases, I didn't "host not found": I got a standard response from IIS: -- 8>< ---- 8>< ---- 8>< ---- 8>< -- GET / HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 16:31:07 GMT Connection: close Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 111 <html><head><title>Site Not Found</title></head> <body>No web site is configured at this address.</body></html> Connection to host lost. -- 8>< ---- 8>< ---- 8>< ---- 8>< -- This was from all addresses, even though IIS should not have bound to them. If I then stopped IIS, and started up Tomcat, all went ok: Tomcat only bound to the specified address. However, restarting IIS didn't go so well: no sites would bind anymore, complaining that the address was already in use, which was not the case according to telnet, my browser, and my network admin tools. I also tried using host names instead of IP addresses, but this didn't change anything. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
