Cannot access port 8090 for confluence 5.5 in linux

Question

Hi,

I installed confluence 5.5 in linux. I tried to connect to port 8090 I cant access. Help Please.

No port 8090 is not running. I did this:

vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Append rule as follows:

-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport port_number -j ACCEPT

-make sure you change the port_number to actual number (8090 or 8088)

Restart iptables:

# /etc/init.d/iptables restart

Verify that port is open:

# netstat -tulpn | less

still not working. What to do?

What does your atlassian-confluence.log say?  And the catalina.out file too?

What does "netstat -plant | grep 8090" get back?  (Or, a lot less detailed, but should be independent of unix flavour, just "netstat -a | grep 8090"

But seriously, log files are your friend.

Hi Jerin,

I'd run the following command against your Linux box to see if indeed Confluence is running under 8090:

netstat -ntpl

Also, take a look in the atlassian-confluence.log to see if you can find an error there.
Cheers,
