Ubuntu – Tomcat 7 on Ubuntu 12.04 server does not run on browser

tomcatUbuntuubuntu-12.04vps

I am new to linux. I have set up my VPS with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit. I have successfully installed Tomcat and successfully started it with /usr/share/apache-tomcat-7.0.34/bin/catalina.sh run.

But when I try to access the default tomcat page with [MyServerIP]:8080, It is unable to connect. Am I doing something wrong?

UPDATE

I did a restart and this is all I have in the log.

Looks like it never connects

Thanks PratapSingh and Eric DANNIELOU. You guys were right. It was a firewall problem. Port 8080 was blocked. Added this line : -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT. Now its working fine. Thank you again.
