I’m using opensuse 11.3 32bit with LXDE.
I have configured an apache tomcat server listening on port 8080.
Yast was used to open udp 8080 and tcp 8080 in the firewall by manual entry
under the advanced button of ‘allowed services’ menu.
Another system was used to access the tomcat server via a firefox webbrowser.
The attempt was unsuccessful. The url used was
http://ipaddress_of_tomcat_server:8080. firefox webbrowser keeps showing
‘connecting …’ until timeout.
I’m assuming that inspite of the specified port openings in the firewall, it is
somehow ignored.
If I were to disable the firewall, then I can access the tomcat server with the
firefox webbrowser.
Could someone help out. What can i look for to solve this problem?
Thanks
