Greetings:

I am running a system with Fedora 18, and am attempting to use the Tomcat server as my primary web server.

I want my server to use Port 80, and (of course) I am not running it as root. For this reason, I have successfully (I think!) used iptables to open ports 8080 and 80, and am redirecting all traffic from Port 80 to Port 8080.

My problem is that when I attempt to access the site, I get the following failure message:

The connection has timed out

The server at www.factor3webworks.com is taking too long to respond.

Can someone give me some idea of what is happening and how I can fix this?

Works from here.
http://www.factor3webworks.com:8080/

Apache-Coyote/1.1

Try another browser or clear your preferred browser's cache?

Works from here on both 80 and 8080

Yes, it does work now. Sorry to bug folks...

It turned out that one of my iptables configurations was incorrect. I needed to properly open up Port 8080, and I hadn't. The problem was fixd and now everything works as it should.

Again: sorry to bug everyone...

Glad we could be of help!
