PIX - port 8080

Hi :),

I tried my level best to solve this problem, but could not. So I am here to ask help from the experts.


                                   -----Webserver(IIS+Apache Tomcat)
Internet----PIX515E---|
                                   -----Inside

This is my network. Everything is working fine. The webserver is serving two website and has two IPs. I am able to access the websites both from outside and inside.

Now there is a website which runs using port 8080 using Tomcat is support JSP. This is using port 8080. I want to access this webpage both from outside and inside. Internally I have no problems doing so. Externally I am unable to connect to this website.

Since I am using the same server I should be able to access this website by adding the port 8080 at the end of the URL. Internally I can access the website by using the URLs:
www.website1.my:8080
www.website2.my:8080

When I am trying to access it from outside I cannot get through.

I have the port 8080 enabled both on the outside and the dmz.
The commands that I am using to permit access to this port are:
Interface Outside : access-list acl_out permit tcp any host 161.x.x.x eq 8080
Interface Inside: access-list acl_dmz permit tcp any any eq 8080

I have read an article which says that Tomcat has to be integrated with the IIS. Since I can already access the website from inside I assume that this configuration is not needed. I have also checked the firewall and it shows that there are hits for port 8080. I am not sure why this is not working.

Please let me know what has to be done. In the meantime I will try to integrated Tomcat with IIS and see whether anything changes.

Regards,
Prem Kumar.

So you have a static in place for the web server???
Are you using the same address as the port 80.....web site???
have you tried to connect using telnet to port 8080...does that work...
have you run a syslog at debugging mode while trying to connect from the outside to see what it sayes???
a config would help alot here...

Yes I have a static in place for the webserver. I am also using the same ip address for port 80 and 8080. Is that a problem?

I asked one of my friends to connect to the website using port 8080. Insted of getting the site on port 8080 he got the one on port 80.So I belive that I have to change the port to something other than 8080.

I tried to telnet to port 8080, was unable to connect. Connection timed out.

I am a beginner to PIX and have done all the configuration gathering information from the internet. So I am not much confident with the configuration. Anyways this is the configuration. If I am doing soemthing wrong, please correct me.

Hi,

thank you for very much for the help. I have fixed the problem. I configured tomcat to use a different port and it solved the problem. I think that by default Tomcat uses port 8080 and I have a website running on port 80 as well. I belive that IIS was unable to resolve the query and that resulted in the error. No that I have configured Tomcat to use a different port it works fine.

Thank you for ur help once again.

Prem Kumar.
