Subject: newbie: accessing tomcat admin page from another machine
I thought I should be able to access the administrator from
other machines in my network using the latter but I cannot.
What exactly do you mean by "administrator"?
Well, the administrator, which I thought was quite obvious, is the console
one sees when you install tomcat, start it up and type in localhost:8080. I
don't know how to be clearer than that. See the documentation.
Perhaps you mean the 'manager' application?
The 'admin' application was discontinued in Tomcat 6.0, hence the query.
p
What exact URL are you using from the alternate machines? What exactly
happens when you try? (In case you haven't figured it out yet, you need to
be specific when you report problems.)
I thought the URL entered was fairly obvious. But, if not, here it is:
http://hal9000:8080. That resulted in *Unable to Connect*.
I also tried the ip address with the port number (see one of my other
postings). That resulted in a timeout.
Sorry for not being clearer. I guess I thought it was all obvious.
I can see various hal9000 shared directories from windows
explorer, including the tomcat home on hal9000.
Not really relevant; that just shows Windows networking to be functional,
which uses different mechanisms to resolve host names.
I realized that. I was just trying to show that I do have network
connectivity.
what I am doing wrong.
1) Is the name "hal9000" known via DNS to the other machines?
No. I didn't think of that. :-( I don't have a DNS server running. This is a
home network. It just never occurred to me.
2) Try using the fully qualified DNS name of the target machine.
3) Try using the IP address of the target machine.
This just ended up with a timeout.
4) Insure that firewalls on hal9000 and the other machines are not blocking
connections.
I will have to check this.
