How can I browse my Tomcat localhost from another computer on the network?

Question

I\'m an IIS guy and know its as simple as just using the http://[computername]/path to webapp.. however, I can\'t seem to figure out how to make this possible for a JSP appl

Answer 1

`Step 1: Go to directory where tomcat is installed and look for server.xml file.Usually the path is

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\conf\server.xml

Open it with editor and look for connector block.It will be like

Add address="0.0.0.0" to it

save the file.

step 2: Go to the firewall and network protection setting of the pc and turn off the public network firewall.

step 3: Start the tomcat server.Then use the local ip address of pc and port 8080 (used by tomcat server as default unless you have changed it) form other device to connect with the tomcat server on the pc.

eg - http://192.168.8.137:8080/ (replace 192.168.8.137 with your pc's local ip address)
