Trying to get server working.

Energize · 20 Feb 2010 at 22:44

I have a server with tomcat installed on it, but no matter what I do I can't remotely access webpages on it, I have tried forwarding 80/8080 to the servers lan ip, and setting it as the default dmz server but I still can't get it to work, any ideas?

Sorry, windows 7 professional, netgear dg834gt, no firewalls installed. Windows firewall is turned off.

Yes http://192.168.0.7:8080/ works fine.

edit - does this work? http://90.200.150.113:8080/

Finally

, how can I get so that typing 8080 after the ip address isn't needed?

Thanks, great to hear.

I was looking for the port settings on the tomcat service then realised it was in an xml file.

My isp doesn't provide static ips so is the best way to go dyndns?

Ok now I have a bizarre problem, I tried to post on a forum and got the message Your IP 90.200.150.113 has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=90.200.150.113. What is this supposed to mean? I assume it's something do to with the tomcat server? Typical that my ip address is erroneously added to some sort of blacklist. :rolleyes:

Thank god for uni vpn's.

My ip was listed in the XBL which is why it was blocked, I've removed it from the blacklist now.

I guess that someone elses machine using the ip address before me had a virus, and the forum (against xbl reccomendations) blocked me because of it, just a coincidence after all.

What's the best way to monitor traffic on my webserver, such as bandwidth used and ip addresses accessing it etc?

At least that works. You know for some reason I thought that setting up your own webserver was a difficult thing to do.

Are there any security precautions to take other than the usual antivirus/firewall, it's running on a limited account already and outgoing ports like 25 are blocked.
