I have installed java and apache tomcat on my Google cloud instance and have started the tomcat but when I try to connect to my instance from my browser on port 8080 or 8443 I cannot connect it. I should see the apache tomcat's welcome page right? Can someone plz help me with this?
You need to configure firewall to allow those ports.
The best option for your use case would be to use Google Cloud Launcher.
https://console.cloud.google.com/launcher/details/click-to-deploy-images/tomcat.
It should give you an external IP with HTTP and HTTPS tomcat ports open 8080.
Just go to the details of your instance and click on edit.
Now in the firewalls section and check Allow HTTP traffic.

Is JIRA supported in GCE? If so, how to make it work?
We have installed 64-bit .bin of JIRA(6.4.1), and opened necessary custom http ports under Networks.
Started JIRA as service, but unable to see it work via browser. No error message than, timed out error!
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Note: We are new to Google Cloud Platform.
Did you enable the http and https services on your instance ? By default the GCE instance does not allow Http and Https traffic, you have to do it manually.
The Jira configuration for Google Compute Engine can be tricky. You need to make sure that:
The firewall rules under Netowrking allows a connection to Jira HTTP port or the HTTP enables in VM properties
The global Networking rules allow TCP traffic on this port
The virtual network have routes configured
If you use Apache as proxy for Jira (recommended) then make sure Apache is configured to point to the Tomcat port
Your Tomcat is configured
You have enabled port allocation using setcap utility
Your local machine firewall enables the connection (in Red Hat ipconfig is enabled by default and blocks the connections)
As you can see it may be tricky to install Jira on Google Cloud. It may be a good idea to use a deployment service like Deploy4Me to do this quickly and automatically.
I just set up JIRA on my ec2 instance after installing it via .bin installer file. But when I hit the ec2 url:
ec2-xxxxx.xxxxx.amazonaws.com
It is hitting the test success page for apache2 which I installed after JIRA installation.
How do I get to determine the correct URL for JIRA and hit the JIRA app?
Thanks
JIRA defaut http port is 8080. So you need access it via
ec2-xxxxx.xxxxx.amazonaws.com:8080
if you are not following the detault setting, then you need make sure which port are set by this document Changing JIRA's TCP Ports
You may need open the firewall port 8080 and set in one security group which you assign port 22 to be opened. Otherwise, you can't directly access that port.
Apart from the previous answer you may wish to ensure the following:
Your AWS EC2 Instance security group have the port opened
Your AWS VPC ACL allows TCP traffic on this port
Your VPC have an internet gateway
Your VPC have the routes configured
Your Apache proxy is configured to point to the Tomcat port
Your Tomcat is configured
You have enabled port allocation using setcap utility
Your local machine firewall enables the connection (in Red Hat ipconfig is enabled by default and blocks the connections)
As you can see it may be tricky to install Jira on AWS. It may be a good idea to use a deployment service like Deploy4Me to do this quickly.
I have hosted my website http://www.example.com, and it works fine.
when I try to access it by https://www.example.com, my browser says it is unable to connect?
Is this normal? (Is it a DNS issue or a rails app)
This probably isn't a Rails issue, but it's hard to say without more information. The most likely explanation is that your server probably isn't configured to have port 443 open, which is the default port for https connections.
If you are on Amazon EC2, you'll need to manually open port 443 in the EC2 security group configuration.
I am developing a grails webapp and used SOAP to publish my web service using
Endpoint.publish("http://localhost:8080/XYZ", new XYZ());
When I am accessing this service from my local machine then it works fine but when I try to access it through different computer using my machine IP address instead of localhost, it does not show anything.
I have allowed the port through firewall as well but still no success.
Can anyone tell me the reason and how to solve this?
By default embedded tomcat server will listen on localhost. You will have to explicitely bind it to the ip address.
Try this, and see if works
$grails -Dserver.host=192.168.1.100 run-app
Or
$grails -Dserver.host=192.168.1.100 run-war
anybody work on Remote Monitoring in java (JMX).
I have to monitor Remote Tomcat instance on Linux system and i need to monitor on local window machine.
i am accessing Remote Tomcat using Putty through VPN.
Please help..
I have tried by give jmx port in catalina.sh file of tomcat with variable JAVA_OPT and further tunneling in Putty ,but i m not able to access via localhost with port ,
also by using service jmx command.
please help !!!
Thanks for your time and support in advance ..
Remote JMX needs two ports to operate properly. And the second one (the RMI registry port) is by default picked randomly causing problems with firewalls etc.
Since JDK7u4 you can use
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=<port>
to set the RMI port to be used.
See this blog for more detailed steps.
