Question
I am stuck with a slight problem. All the jsp scripts work fine on the machine that tomcat is available and i use the url as http://localhost:8080/folder(in webapps)/page.jsp but they do not work from any other machine on the lan. Can you please let help me
thanks

Answer
Probably you have a firewall the denies the service, consider either re-configuring the firewall or change to a port that the firewall allows.

For that you need to open <tomcat>/conf/server.xml, search for "8080" and replace that with the port you desire. Then restart Tomcat. See if it works. If not, you have something else using that port. Try stopping that service but remember to tell the users about it and then re-test.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,
