Tomcat Server Up and Running : But cannot browse through IE/Firefox

[Sutapa Dey]

Hi All,

I have started both apache server and tomcat server on HP-UX box.
Apache running on port 80 and Tomcat supposedly on port 8080.
When I do a
# ps -aex | grep httpd
11053 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start
11054 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start
11051 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start
11052 ? 0:00 /opt/hpws/apache/bin/httpd -d /opt/hpws/apache -k start

# ps -aex | grep catalina
5811 ? 0:13 /opt/java1.5/bin/IA64N/java -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager -XdoCloseWithReadPending -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/hpws/tomcat/common/endorsed -classpath :/opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/bootstrap.jar:/opt/hpws/tomcat/bin/commons-logging-api.jar -Dcatalina.base=/opt/hpws/tomcat -Dcatalina.home=/opt/hpws/tomcat -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/hpws/tomcat/temp org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
[rx26-154]/opt/hpws/apache/bin

Which shows both the servers are running.
But I can access the homepage of the Apache server by:
http:///
But I cannot access the homepage of the Tomcat server by:
http://:8080/

Please help.

You can easily check whether the server is listening on port 8080 with netstat: -

netstat -an | grep LISTEN

Also, if you have lsof installed (a very usefuly tool to install if you don't have it), then you can see what port a particular process is listening to: -

lsof -p 5811

You will see a TCP line for any open listening ports.

Of course you can also double-check in your Tomcat config files, and even "telnet localhost 8080" to see if you get a response.

Shalom,

netstat -an | grep 8080

If you are running oracle on the same server there may be a port conflict with the oracle web based OEM product.

Other conflict is possible.
