Scalix Forums

I am going thru the Scalix install guide and have gotten to the 'testing your installation' section. I should mention that this is a fresh install of RedHat and I am new to Linux.

Anyway, when I go to http://localhost/ Mozilla says the connection was refused. I am assuming this a firewall issue, and I have gone so far as to open all ports listed in the install guide. I have also disabled the built-in Linux firewall (we have a hardware firewall).

Oddly when I go to localhost:631 (CUPS printer page) it works just fine.
I think I am just making a newbie mistake here. Also, when I try to test the webmail at server:8080/webmail it just takes me to Apache's webpage. What's up with that?!

Help please. I don't like feeling stupid.....

Well, I'm not an expert by any means and I haven't had to go through the Tomcat install in a very long time, but it sounds like you don't have Tomcat started. Right now, I don't recall how to check to see if it's running, but I do know the script to get it started.

~TOMCAT-HOME/bin/startup.sh

I also think there is a step in the install guide that you have to go through that will make Tomcat startup when you restart the server. I don't think it is set up to do that by default, unless it has been changed since I did do the install.

Good luck,

I think chad might be right. unfortunately, our current install does not integrate tomcat into system startup, so everytime you restart your system, tomcat needs to be manually restarted.

we provide a script called tomcat in the admin_resource_kit subdirectory of the installation tar file that can be used for the integration. Also, i believe this step is mentioned in the install guide.

The next release will do this step automatically from within the installer.

cheers,
Florian.
