Sorry if you feel offended at anything said - it certainly wasn't intended. > I know what connections and sockets are and infact, a > socket is a connection! Not quite; a socket is not necessarily a TCP or UDP connection - there are many other network and internal protocols that use sockets as endpoints. In the particular case of the sockets created for the ports specified on the Tomcat <Connector> elements, these are passive opens, so there's no actual connection until a client attempts an active open. > I have programmed large concurrent/multithreading programming > projects including torents and servers that deal with all kinds > of sockets in many different contexts in many different languages. Good experience. I started writing multithreaded assembler language on multiprocessor systems in 1969, including communications. > As far as the other replies then you say there is a problem since > my windows machine (windows 7 ultimate) isn't showing the other > ports being listened on (bound). Correct - that is a problem. Unless Tomcat has a listen established on the configured ports (they are ServerSocket instances, in Java terminology), connections cannot be established. If you're not seeing entries like this in your netstat -ano output, something is preventing Tomcat from functioning: Proto Local Address Foreign Address State PID TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 6104 TCP 0.0.0.0:8009 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 6104 TCP [::]:80 [::]:0 LISTENING 6104 TCP [::]:8009 [::]:0 LISTENING 6104 The Foreign Address will always be 0.0.0.0 for passive open (LISTENING) ports. > Since they are redirect connections Not sure what you mean by that terminology, but I'll presume you mean they are passive opens. > then I wouldn't be surprised if a socket (connection), only opens > up when a page is redirecting so I don't believe that is the problem. ??? This has nothing to do with HTTP redirection, which the above statement appears to refer to. We're talking about the means of establishing an HTTP connection. > And then as far as Root and ROOT, then come on, you know what I am > talking about. No, I don't. We get many, many Windows-centric people on this mailing list that often get the casing wrong, and then wonder why things aren't working. > Were not talking about case sensitive environmental operating > system features / registry files. Yes, we are. Tomcat is extremely case-sensitive, so the casing of file and directory names must be exact. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
