Apache tomcat server win8 cannot be accessed outside of local host
Dear all,
I have installed the apache-tomcat server on my local win8. The port I specified is 9999.
Additionally, I use the distributed binary version of apache tomcat. Not installing as a windows service.
I can access my service by http://localhost:9999 and http://myIPAddress:9999
But I cannot access my apache server from other computers. I searched on the internet, and found I should add a firewall inbound rule in its advanced settings.
Right click "Inbound Rules" on the left pane
Choose "New Rule"
Choose "Port" "TCP"
Under "Specific ports" enter your port number (9999)
Continue with "Next" until the end of the wizard, naming the rule when asked.
After doing this, it still doesn't work!!
I even tried to set the ports at step 4 to be "any". Still doesn't work!
I have checked with "netstat -na" to see that: TCP 0.0.0.0:9999 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Then only method I find by far is turning off my windows firewall! But this is not preferred since the potential security risk.
Some online post refers to httpd.conf file. But my apache-tomcat have no such kind of fire.
Could someone give me some hints?
EDIT:
There are three places related to port number setting in the /conf/server.xml file.
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Connector port="9999" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />// I change the 8080 to 9999 for my own use.
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

Ok, well this tells you that there is nothing wrong with the Tomcat configuration.
You need to find out how to enable the Tomcat port through your firewall, when
you turn it back on.

I am sure I didn't block those rules in exceptional list.
This question makes crazy!!
There is no way to get it solved!

Then you probably didn't configure the Firewall rule properly.
Maybe you selected "Block all incoming connections, including those in the list of allowed apps" in the firewall options?
Otherwise I can't imagine why incoming connections would be rejected despite adding the inbound rule using the steps you described.

Yes!
This works! I can access my apache server from other machines!
But this is not a good way since outing my machine at risk of security attack!

Well, IF you turn off the Windows Firewall (just for a moment, just for testing), does it
work ?
