Cannot connect over http (port 8080)

[Christian Bonam]

Hi,

I have an application (JBoss) running on port 8080 of my Mac OSX 10.5.2.
My firewall is set completely open.
Nevertheless, when I try to connect from another machine's browser or try to telnet to my Mac (telenet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8080), the connection is refused. Eg. my IE browser running on a PC in the network simply says "The page cannot be displayed", when I try to surf at my application http://<my.mac.ip>:8080/mazda.
Is it possible that port 8080 is simply not open on my Mac?

sudo ipfw list

returns

65535 allow ip from any to any

What can be the cause of my problem?

How are you connected? Your Mac's firewall is open, but is the router doing port forwarding?
Can you ping your IP?
Port scan port 8080?

I read your aupport question

!

Unfortunaly I have exact the same problem. Do you have solve the Problem ?

I have to check a portal solution using liferay in jboss on port 8080 with an IE on a windows machine.

But I could not connect with Browser and telnet on port 8080 ....

You allready describe the Problem.

I think I have an idee ....

oel$ netstat -an | grep 80
tcp4 0 0 10.0.0.73.80 10.0.0.73.50235 FIN_WAIT_2
tcp4 0 0 10.0.0.73.50235 10.0.0.73.80 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp46 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8093 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8009 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8080 *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 127.0.0.1.8083 *.* LISTEN

An apache on Port 80 could be used by an windows PC. The MAC os X Server runs on the IP 10.0.0.73 .

But the jboss is only binding on the IP 127.0.0.1. So, no Client in the LAN is able to use the webapp. I will change the Jboss configuration.

Greetings Olaf

Yes, it works.
I changed the binding address. Jboss is now listening onany address, just for testing not to production use:
tcp46 0 0 *.8093 *.* LISTEN
tcp46 0 0 *.8009 *.* LISTEN
tcp46 0 0 *.8080 *.* LISTEN
tcp46 0 0 *.8083 *.* LISTEN
tcp46 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN

There is no Problem with Mac OSX and the Firewall!

Use the -b Option to set the binding address.
like "run.sh -b .0.0.0.0"

Or Modifiy your run.sh by adding the bind address directly for testing.
org.jboss.Main "$@" -b 0.0.0.0
org.jboss.Main "$@" -b 0.0.0.0 &
