Hi Chuck, Thank you for your reply, it is helpful to know that no further configuration is required in server.xml to make Tomcat accessible through an external IP.
As you mentioned I may need to configure the firewall as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/firewall-configuration.html The netstat tool shows that the connection was received from the external IP. Since the request is not reaching Tomcat , I guess the request is not being frowarded from the external to the internal ip. I checked Tomcat's access log valve outputs, and it shows that no connection was received. This is not related to Tomcat. I'll try to figure this out. -Rashmi On Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 10:36 PM, Caldarale, Charles R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > From: Rashmi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Accessing standalone Tomcat from an external IP address > > > > > I'm trying to configure Tomcat so that it can be accessed externally. > > There's nothing to configure within Tomcat for that. > > > > http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7070 , I can't access the app, I get a "The > > server at external ip is taking too long to respond." > > You likely have a firewall blocking remote access. > > - Chuck > > > THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY > MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
