Hello, I have what I think is a probably an easy problem to fix, I just don't have the knowledge.
I am running
Java 1.6.0_03,
Tomcat 6.0.13, on Linux
I'm trying to get multiple instances of tomcat working but am unable to connect to the new instance I've set up. I've tried many different guides online as well as searching here on coderanch, to no avail. I think I am missing something very simple however, as I'll explain:
I have the following set up:
/usr/app/tomcat (original installation)
/usr/app/tomcatdev (second instance I would like to run)
I copied over the necessary directories/files from the first installation into the new directory and made the necessary changes to various ports specified in server.xml, the main listener being on 8081 now instead of the default 8080.
I've set $CATALINA_BASE to /usr/app/tomcatdev.
The second instance seems to start and run correctly with startup.sh, according to ps aux.
netstat -anp shows me that the correct process is in fact listening on 8081 - yet all of my attempts to reach the server at its address:8081 fail. There are no error messages(that I know of), other than my browser being unable to connect.
What am I missing?
Note: The original tomcat installation /usr/app/tomcat still works fine, listening on 8080.
