Windows – Tomcat setup for external access

tomcatwindowswindows-server-2008

I have tomcat setup on a Windows 2008 server. Everything is running locally and works just fine. What I am trying to do is access the web app external now. I have opened a port so that incoming traffic will be sent to that server with tomcat on port 8780. When I ping the ip address of the server on an external network I get replies. When I telnet with the ip an port 8780 I connect. When I try to run a jsp with the ip and port number including the path to the jsp it just sits there and clocks…. IS there something I need to do to make tomcat accessible on the outside, something that i may have missed. Anything I can provide to help answer let me know!

The problem was this: in my firewall port settings my admin had accidentally put an optional setting that takes the forwarded port and reroutes it to a newly defined port. Once he changed that life was good. So basically I had a port forwarding issue. (the firewall we use is actually untangle)

Tomcat – Apache & Tomcat Load balancing via Mod_jk issue

WORKERS.PROPERTIES

# Load-balancing behaviour 
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb 
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=worker1,worker2 

#JkMount /* loadbalancer 
JkMount /examples/jsp lb 
JkMount /examples/jsp/* lb

This is wrong. Move the JkMount directive to the mod_jk.conf, something like this:

JkWorkersFile conf/jk/workers.properties 
JkShmFile logs/mod_jk.shm 
JkLogFile logs/mod_jk.log 
JkLogLevel info 
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] " 

JkMount /examples/jsp loadbalancer
JkMount /examples/jsp/* loadbalancer

Notice that the Tomcat worker should be loadbalancer as you defined in the workers.properties, instead of lb.

Ubuntu – How to access the tomcat server running on the network remotely

First, Did you perform the port-forwarding on your gateway to port 9090? Btw, you can set the external port to 9090 and the internal to 80 .. this will work with you.

Second, Can you confirm that your server is running correctly? Try executing netstat -an | grep 9090 where 9090 is your port. If you don't see it, restart the tomcat service.

Finally, try connecting for a machine in your LAN first to rule out any invalid possibility for the failure. Point the browser on any local machine to http://:9090
