Application runnnig in a Linux machine - not able to access from windows.

[gokul_ifs]

Hi,

I am running jboss in a linux machine. I am able to open the home page of jboss in the sane machine where it is installed using the URL

http"//localhost:8080

But the page is not coming up when i try the URL in the same machine where jboss is installed

http://<IP Address>:8080/

Also, the page is not up when i try to access it from any windows machine.

I am sure that Jboss is running on port 8080 without any error.

Any help regarding this is highly appriciated.



Thanks in advance,
GOKUL

This could be any number of problems, things to try:

- Firewalling isn't turned on is it? If your firewall is blocking external connections to port 8080, then you wont get a response at another machine.

- I've seen port 8080 used for other services, such as squid proxy. There is nothing else running on that port is there?

- Your network card is operating right, isn't it? If it's misconfigured the routes internally to localhost may work, but anyone trying to get a connection over the lan port may encounter problems.

Hi Roxoff,

- I am sure port 8080 is not used by other services and network card is working fine.

- The same Jboss when installed on Windows it works fine. so i think the firewall is not blocking external connections to 8080.

Could you pls share more ideas with me regarding this.

The firewall I'm talking about is the internal one on the Linux machine. If you boot it up in windows, the Linux firewall wont be running, so you wont see problems related to it.

In Linux, launch your firewall control tool ('system-config-securitylevel' on CentOS or Fedora, but I'm not sure what system you've got) and open port 8080. You could even turn off the firewall and SELinux system temporarily while you test this, but dont forget to turn it back on again...

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem even after

- Firewalling is turned off.
- 8080 is not used for other services.

Thanks in advance,
