Setup tomcat on VPS
Hello there,
I have a VPS machine and I installed Tomcat on it. I tested the tomcat by running the localhost:8080 on the VPS and it works as expected. Now how do I config tomcat so when I enter the ip address of the vps I can see the tomcat home page.

no it is not working.Ok, so I can only think of two issues that it could be...
- Firewall that is allowing traffic on port 80 but denying traffic on port 8080
- Check your "server.xml" file that I mentioned above, and in the <Connector> element that references port 8080, check that there is NO "address" attribute set. If there is anything like address="127.0.0.1" or such, remove that attribute from the connector and it should start listening on all IP addresses.
What procedure you used to "install" tomcat? e.g. I unzip the zip file and that one listens on all addresses.

I used the .exe package to install tomcat. I used all default settings.as I mentioned I have IIS listening on port 80 and I have tomcat on 8080.
by the way is it possible to run the tomcat with entering that 8080,but also have IIS running.

So it listens on all IPs
You have to configure firewall, depending on your windows version you may need to allow server access for java.exe, tomcat service .exe, port 8080, or more than one of them...

thanks a lot for your comments.
no it is not working.
I have also setup IIS on that server for ftp features. Now when I type the IP only it shows me the IIS default page. But when I enter the ip with the 8080 in the browser it is not opening the tomcat default page.
