Are you sure tomcat is listening on port 80 and not on the default 8080?
Try: http://10.2.3.189:8080 and see if it works

thanks man, port 8080 is fine i can see the It works! message.
but how to make it run on port 80 ?

bathory · 11-12-2010, 03:27 AM

You should open server.xml, after making a backup first, look for "Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" and change it to be

Code:

Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

Then restart tomcat.

Are you sure you're running tomcat? Because the "It Works" message is the default page for apache, while the tomcat default shows much more info.

thanks man that is just what i need it :-)

here's what I can see:

It works !

If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!

This is the default Tomcat home page. It can be found on the local filesystem at: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT/index.html

Tomcat6 veterans might be pleased to learn that this system instance of Tomcat is installed with CATALINA_HOME in /usr/share/tomcat6 and CATALINA_BASE in /var/lib/tomcat6, following the rules from /usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz.

You might consider installing the following packages, if you haven't already done so:

tomcat6-docs: This package installs a web application that allows to browse the Tomcat 6 documentation locally. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.

tomcat6-examples: This package installs a web application that allows to access the Tomcat 6 Servlet and JSP examples. Once installed, you can access it by clicking here.

tomcat6-admin: This package installs two web applications that can help managing this Tomcat instance. Once installed, you can access the manager webapp and the host-manager webapp.

NOTE: For security reasons, using the manager webapp is restricted to users with role "manager". The host-manager webapp is restricted to users with role "admin". Users are defined in /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml.
