I have installed sun jdk 1.6 x64 and tomcat in a linux x64 machine through ssh, I don’t have root privileges so I installed both in my home dir.
I managed to successful run tomcat but if I try to enter mydomain.com:8080 there’s no answer from the server.
With this command:
netstat -atnp|grep LISTEN
I checked the port and it is LISTENING

Any ideas that what is the problem?

Answer
First step is to run telnet localhost 8080 when logged in locally. Then type in something like
GET /
and you should get HTML back. If that doesn’t work, then tomcat is not really running properly or is not listening on port 8080. If that works but when trying from outside, make sure that you have the correct ip address. Try with ip address first. If ip address works, perhaps your mydomain.com doesn’t resolve to it. If ip is correct (the same one you are ssh’ing to) and it still doesn’ work, then you are probably running firewall which doesn’t allow 8080 through. Changing firewall configuration requires root access.
