Can't get JSP examples to load from client machine.

[hselaj]

I can get the JSP examples (and other JSP scripts that I have written myself) to successfully open within the Netscape browser on the Solaris server itself. I load it this way:

http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/jsp2/misc/test.html

However, no pages can be opened when I try to open the same examples (and any other pages) within IE from a Windows PC (that can ping the server successfully). I load it this way:

http://x.x.x.x:8080/jsp-examples/jsp2/misc/test.html

I get the following:
====================
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.
Please try the following:
Open the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.
You can also see a list of related sites.
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer
====================

I am using Jakarta Tomcat version 5.0.27 as a web and application server both. I am not using Apache or any other dedicated web server.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

500 means internal server error, which leads me to query whether you are doing anything "odd" in the JSP ?

Having said that, check your firewall, this may be the problem.

If neither of these work, create a simple .html page and stuff it into the ROOT webapp directory under "test.html" (ie TOMCAT_HOME/ROOT/test.html) or whatver, and just include a "Hello World" content in it (no actual embedded Java code) and see if that loads under the URL

http://server:8080/test.html

I have been able to load the example JSP as well as HTML pages on the native browser. However, it does not work when I try to access it from a Windows client machine.

Forgot to add this in my last post ...
Can not load any simple HTML files as well from the client. Note that this works on the native server browser.

Its probably a firewall or other hardware config issue then ...
