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?

Thanks, great to hear. :) I was looking for the port settings on the tomcat service then realised it was in an xml file. :o

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.

AFAICS it's nothing to do with setting up a webserver.
The Policy Block List, which Sky is listed in along with loads of other isps, is simply a list of IP ranges that should only be using authenticated smtp mail (i.e can be used as a blocklist for unauthenticated mail). No idea why a web forum should block on the basis of this if this is what they are doing.
 
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.
 
Sounds like it. The other way of fixing it might have been to reboot your router to see if you got a new IP address.
p.s. I use dyndns and it works fine - my netgear router supports it and reports ip changes automagically.
 
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. :p 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.

Depends how you want to monitor it really theres many methods from paid to free. Software and hardware methods with graphs e.t.c.

phpmyvisits is a simple free web php monitoring tool.
