Hi guys,
I am new in linux,
I installed apache-tomcat on fedora.
I can view all web pages on localhost:8080 but when I try to view them by server's url address from another computer, I don't get respond.
Can it be a firewall problem or something else?
...but when I try to view them by server's url address from another computer, I don't get respond.
From the server's URL? When at this "other computer", can you ping the server by its name? IE ping bobserver.domain.com? If not, then you will need to sort out your DNS as well. If you can ping it by name, the next question I'd ask is: is there a router/firewall between these two computers? (other than the firewall on the server itself). If so, has this router been configured to forward :8080 to the server?
