I have tomcat5 installed on CentOS. which is configured to listen only from 127.0.0.1. How do I configure Tomcat to listen from all interfaces.

Connector port config is as under:

 <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
       connectionTimeout="20000" 
       URIEncoding="UTF-8"
       address="0.0.0.0"
       redirectPort="8443" />

You need to change the connector stanza in your server.xml file.

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           URIEncoding="UTF-8"
           address="0.0.0.0"
           redirectPort="8443" />

You need to add/change the address attribute. Don't forget to restart your tomcat server after that.

  • @Asghar Did you restart the service after making the change? Can you confirm which address it's listening on with netstat?
