I am trying to change IP address of a SuSE 10 machine that is running Tomcat. I need to create a shell script to do this so could not use YaST.

As some sites suggested on my Google search, I edited the files in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth-* to change the IP address. After that, I restarted the network service by calling /etc/init.d/network restart.

The network card restarting just fine. I, then, restarted tomcat web service. However, when I browsed the new IP address using browser, I got an "Request denied" message.

Can anyone please tell me how I could do this?

Thanks

Did you change the IP in /etc/hosts? I think tomcat is trying to bind on the old address if you didn't changed /etc/hosts.

That is it. The /etc/hosts contains an entry that point to the old IP address. Change that to the new address and restart tomcat. It works. Thank you very much. – Long Ngo Mar 16 '11 at 15:30

Your link which is specifically about windows doesn't address the problem. We also don't like 'answers' with bare links er prefer answers to have content not pointers to content. – Iain♦ Feb 1 at 7:29
