Can't connect to webmail from any other machine

[DDavid]

Installed Scalix, install went smoothly on RHEL 4, everything work localy on the server, when I try to connect to webmail from another machine I get an error message " The connection was refused when atempting to connect "servername.domainname:8080"
Lost have no idea where to start checking, I could reach the apache default page off of any machine in my network, checked the tomcat logs, ot sure what to look for but nithing stands out.
Need some help..Thanks

Check that you don't have a firewall in the way.

Connection refused means that nothing is listening on the port (or that the port is being blocked).

On the tomcat server, run the command:

iptables -L

This should list if you are allowing or blocking specific ports.

If the output shows that you are accepting everything, this indicates that tomcat isn't running to be able to listen on port 8080.

Cheers

This is the output from the above command

RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)

No firewall to block traffice on the internal network, just tring to run webmail localy for now, can even do it using IP address.

Please post the output of netstat -a here.
