I'm using JBoss 7.1 with Eclipse. For my application I need to change localhost in properties of JBoss to 0.0.0.0. After I changed that my server starting about 5-6 min, but in localhost mode it takes a few seconds. What did I do wrong?
Don't change the host name to an IP address. JBoss AS 7 will try to resolve that in the domain name system. The resulting failures/timeouts will be causing the issues you're seeing - and others too.
If your intention was to allow connections from computers other than the one you are on, you should instead check the "Listen on all interfaces to allow remote web connections" box - you can see it there on your screenshot. See also this JBoss Community post.
If you genuinely need to change the host name, define a valid hostname with a valid IP address in the domain name system or in /etc/host (if you're on a *nix operating system) then use that name in the JBoss configuration. Do not use an IP address, an IP address is not a host name.

I have an Apache2 server running in Debian 9.
I am using it to host a custom MediaWiki Wiki.
To navigate to the Wiki I use something of this form "10.200.200.20/mediawiki" where the Apache2 server is running on 10.200.200.20.
This works fine however sometimes the IP Address (10.200.200.20) will change and then everyone on the local network navigating to the Wiki will have to be notified and use the new IP Address which is a hassle.
I wish to change it to something consistent, for example "OurWikiServer/mediawiki" it doesn't really matter that much as long as it can always be found at the same place.
I know this is possible as the MediaWiki installation was previously maintained by someone else who used XAMPP in Windows 7 and it was configured to be found at "stringHere/mediawiki" on the local network.
I have tried changing it in /etc/hosts and can get it changing on individual machines as expected, however have no idea how to get it working network wide.
The best way to do this is to define the IP of this station static. This can be done via reservation in DHCP server or assign IP outside of the DHCP IPs. Also consider adding small DNS server to provide hostname instead of IP
First, I already searched stack overflow and followed the suggestions in previous answers, such as How do I connect to this localhost from another computer on the same network?
I have created a PHP/MySQL application for a client. The want to host it locally on that server.
The machine in question is running an application written in another langauge (I'm not sure which one) and running Tomcat on port 8080.
They also do not have separate staging/production environments, so this is not ideal.
Their other web application needs to remain running while I also port over the new app. I installed XAAMP onto their system and got the app running locally using Apache HTTP. However, they want other computers both within and outside their networks to be able to connect to the Windows server as well. They are already doing this for the previously created app that is running on Tomcat.
Ports 80 and 8080 are already being used, so the firewall was updated to allow my application to run on port 8086.
I used ipconfig to the find the local IPv, and then tried updating the http.conf and vhost file and am listening to the IP on port 8086. However, going to the IP/foldername doesn't resolve on another computer in the network. As a test, I also just typed in the IP of the windows machine, and it never resolves.
I generally don't implement of windows; until now, all of my production applications have run on some flavor of unix. Their other application is live and I don't want to disturb it. They access it by going to {servername}:8080. I tried server:8086 to see if my app could be accessed that way, but it can't.
I confirmed that localhost/foldername resolves.
Here are the exact steps that I have taken. I tried two different solutions.
Solution 1, using How do I connect to this localhost from another computer on the same network? as a guide:
Make sure firewall allows port 8086 access
I modified the C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf file to include a virtual host for the application:
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/{foldername}"
ServerName dispatchserver
Went to the Windows host file located at \Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and added the following:
192.xxx.x.xx dispatchserver
From a computer outside the network, tried to go to the following URLs (non resolved):
http://192.xxx.x.xx
http://192.xxx.x.xx:8086/
http://192.xxx.x.xx/foldername
http://dispatchserver
http://dispatchserver/foldername
Since they didn't work, I tried a solution using this older stack overflow answer: Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network - how to?
Made sure firewall allows port 8086 access
XAMPP control panel > Config > Service and Port Settings > Apache > Changed main port to 8086.
XAMPP control panel > Apache > Config > http.conf
Searched for "Listen 80" and replaced with Listen 8086
Right above that, added Listen 192.xxx.x.xx:8086 (I used the IPv4, but don't want to include full address for security reasons). I added this line with hashtag at first (#192.xxx.x.xx:8086) and then without hastag after that didn't work (192.xxx.x.xx:8086).
Searched for and set this up as the directory statement:
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Restart Apache
What steps can I take to allow the new webapplication I installed via XAMPP to be accessible to other computers?
In that case it's a little different if you want to web enable this. You need to set up your router to port forward to your server (app)so that the other network can reach it from the internet. Your router blocks incoming requests by default so a port forwarding rule using the port you mentioned will work. You should also put your server computer (the one with the app) on a static ip address to make things easier. Then for the user to see your app you need to give them the ip address of your internet connection (seen via sites like ipchicken.com) and the port number in the url.
Normally you just need to open the ports in the windows firewall on both computers (inbound and outbound) for the ports your application is using and then connect to the other machine via ip address and port number if they are on the same network.
I am developing web pages and deployed it in Tomcat. I want it to share among my friends. I read about IIS and Apache.Please suggest me any way to direct domain name to tomcat installed in my computer.
Personally, I would stay away from IIS.
Deploy an instance of Apache/HTTPD in windows - and proxy/reverse-proxy the traffic on whatever port you want to your tomcat instance.
You can find some decent resources as for Windows deployables here:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html
Then when you have your server set up and functioning, look into the ProxyPass directive within Apache.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html
Don't forget to open a port forwarding on your router, if necessary.
As far as directing your domain name to your computer, look into getting an account at ZoneEdit to set up your DNS to point whatever domain name you want to your routers/cable modems IP address. Then you can set up your port forwarding.
I have created a web application in glassfish and I can access it on my LAN.
How can I access the web application from a remote location over internet?
I do not have static IP.
Please reply.
Thanks.
Steps :
Creating virtual DNS(Domain name server) Server on your machine.
Port Forwarding.
Reference https://cookbook.fortinet.com/port-forwarding-60/
Remote Desktop Connection enabling.
Creating Inbound Rules. Reference :
https://www.howtogeek.com/112564/how-to-create-advanced-firewall-rules-in-the-windows-firewall/
Creating account on www.noip.com and create custom host and download DUC (Dynamic Update Client) Software.
Some more steps may have it depends on your LAN Router and firewall configuration.Use http://ifconfig.me/ to get your public ip.
Access from outside your machine should be configured by default. You may check if it is so in admin console, at Configurations->server-config->Network config->Listenters. There should be one listening on the desired port (like 8080) and be bound to 0.0.0.0 address.
To easily access something behind a dynamic ip you need something like http://www.noip.com/ or http://www.dnsomatic.com/ (I took these from my router's control panel)
I did this recently,
first you need to use port forwarding on your router, access it by typing your default gateway path, mine was 192.168.0.1 then go to "advanced settings -> Port forwarding". Simply enter the details that are asked for, I set mine to HTTP using port 8080, yours might be different. Protocol is TCP. The IP address it asks for is your local address.
For quick testing you can disable the firewall on your machine and then you can search on google for your Public IP address by typing "what is my IP".
Then type your ip into the browser and the port number "ipAddress:portNumber"
You should see the glassfish welcome screen if it is successful.
After that you might want to enable your firewall again but then you have to add an inbound rules to allow the port to be used:
Setting Windows inbound rules
Then you still have one last step to perform, allowing glassfish to access the resources on your machine: Adding glassfish to allowed programs
Follow the instructions on adding java.exe only.
I can point a url to a directory in my computer by setting /etc/host and /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf files. For instance, when i type sample-app.com in my computer, website under /Users/azad/works/sample-app.com folder is running.
When someone type sample-app.com in another computer in same local network i want to display the same website located on my computer. Is this possible?
By the way, i don't have access to any computer in the local network and i can't do any configuration.
Mac 10.7.5 (I am using mac but if windows is better for this purpose i can use windows too),
PHP 5.3,
Apache 2.2
If you want to accomplish this on windows, use the hosts file on the computers you want to point at that sample-app.com URL mapping your IP address to that URL in all the computers you want that to work on. Then make sure your HTTP server is configured to serve that website under that host name for port 80.
Since you aren't able to configure the local network, the best way to handle this situation is to configure a host name with the website domain's DNS server, such as dev.sample-app.com, which points to the local IP address (seeing as how its on the local network) of the computer hosting the website. This will then allow other computers on the local network to enter this host name to access the webiste.
If you had control of the local network's DNS server or control of the proxy (if they have a proxy), there would, of course, be other options.
Update:
Since you mentioned in your comment that you have control over the DNS server, here is how you could accomplish your goal via the DNS server. First, add a forward lookup zone for sample-app.com to the DNS server. Second, configure the default host for the zone to point to the computer serving up the website content. Now the client computers will resolve the local IP when the user enters sample-app.com into their web browsers. If you need to continue to have access to other hosts on sample-app.com, you might want to try asking about it on serverfault.
