Not able to access Tomcat webserver from another machine in the LAN

  • 772

I have setup the basic tomcat website (tomcat 8.0.3) on a server inside my company LAN. From my work computer if I try to access the website by typing it into google chrome it is not working.

The IP of the computer on which the Tomcat server is running is 192.1xx.132.125:8080. The IP of my work computer is 192.1xx.129.75.

I am able to ping my work PC to the server. If I type http://192.1xx.132.125:8080 on google chrome browser on my PC I get the following error.

Google Chrome error!

Can someone please point out why this is happening? Also My webserver is headless.I can access the webpage on that server using curl. Since this is a non-conventional port number do I need to update the IP tables on my server?

I have run this command

 sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment "Tomcat Server port"

as mentioned in http://serverfault.com/questions/341804/opening-up-port-8080-in-centos

tomcat

    For Centos 7 you can enable the port 8080 with the following commands:

    firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=8080/tcp --permanent 
firewall-cmd --reload
