Re: tomcat responds with localhost, but refuses the connection w/mach inename

[John Turner <to...@johnturner.com>]

Did you configure a virtual host for machinename in server.xml, or just 
leave it with localhost?  Tomcat is literal, there is no catch-all like 
there is with Apache.  That is, unless you have a Host container for your 
hostname or an Alias directive for an already existing virtual host, Tomcat 
will not answer the request.

<Host name="localhost"..../> - will only take requests for localhost and 
none other

<Host name="localhost"..../>
<Alias>machinename</Alias> - will take requests for localhost + machinename

<Host name="machinename"... /> - will take requests for machinename but not 
localhost
