   setting up my webserver
  I am trying to setup a webserver (tomcat). Everything works fine when I go to http://localhost/...but how do I get it to work from other peoples computers on the internet. http://myipaddress doesn''t work it doesn''t show anything. I think It might have something to do with my firewall. 
  I am guessing you are using Apache with that Tomcat option.There is a section of httpd.conf which asks what IP and Port should the server be binded with. However, I cannot find those docs on Apache.org :/You can also look at Virtual Hosts [edited by - DakeDesu on August 3, 2003 10:29:48 PM];  Huh? I simply downloaded and installed Tomcat 4 from apache. Does that have the apache webserver. Is it a server at all? I managed to run servlets on it. ;quote:Original post by VBeir  I simply downloaded and installed Tomcat 4 from apache. Does that have the apache webserver. Is it a server at all? I managed to run servlets on it.   I am a little shaky on my understanding of the Java Server Pages specs, so please take this with a couple grains of salt. Now that I think about it, I believe that servlettes are to run as seperate process as their own server to overcome some of the weaknesses of CGI based solutions.However, I am sure there has to be some manner of configuration file somewhere, but I am puzzled as to why it would not be able to find your servlette. Is it one of your own design? Have you told your servlette to bind to an address other than local host?Sorry I could not be more of a help :/ ;  It''s not just the servlet. I can''t get index.htm to show it''s not just the servlet that it''s not finding. do you think it has to do with the firewall. just to make sure I said things clear.When I type in "http://localhost" everything works perfectly but when I substitut localhost with my ip address it comes up with a regular"This page cannot be displayed." ;  if you are using a router, then two words, port forwarding. ;  Have you tested in other segments of the network? Are you using nonroutable IPs? Does the firewall have port 80 open? ;quote:Original post by Nervo  if you are using a router, then two words, port forwarding.   Yeah I''m using a router. ummm could you explain your two words? ;  Vbeir, what is your brand of router? If it is Linksys I may be able to help you through this. ;quote:Original post by DakeDesu  Have you tested in other segments of the network? Are you using nonroutable IPs? Does the firewall have port 80 open?   other segments of the network? you think it would work on another computer eventhough it didn''t on mine?what are nonroutably IPs? I think port 80 is open.
