Making port 8080 available

[VanJay011379]

Hello,

I have just installed SuSe Linux 9.3.

I went under YaST and allowed the HTTP server to be available under allowed services.

How do I make port 8080 available for my Tomcat servlets?

Cheers,

Chrix

Hi,

Thanks for the link.

However, when I try to do that, I click ok, click next and the settings are saved.

However, it does not work. Also, when I return whatever is after the first space is removed.

For instance, if I enter "8080 80", when I return it is "8080".

Get on your box. Start Tomcat. Then do a nmap [yourIPAddrress] That will show you what ports are available on your box. If you are trying to access remotely, are you sure you aren't going through a router that is blocking 8080. I just had that problem and then opened/forwarded the 8080 port to my box and saw the tomcat page.
