Hey everyone, I am new to Apache, we have a 5 year old off the shelf application that runs on Apache Tomcat/5.5.16. The program also requires a java platform version 1.5.0_06. I have installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.5.0_06. OS is windows 7 pro 64 bit. This app setup is meant for intranet only it will not be facing outward to the internet.
I have installed this app and verified everything is working when I connect from local host
http://intranet:8080/IQS/index.do
The problem comes when I try to access this app from another computer. If I try the linkhttp://intranet:8080/IQS/index.do from another PC I get 404 error requested resource not available. These PC's are on the same domain together and I can ping, access files between them, etc...
Firewall is turned off to rule out port issue. Any ideas on what is needed to open up this app to other computers? |

Almost forgot to include a very important point. If I type in http://intranet:8080/ I do get the standard Apache tomcat 5.16 screen.
However the webapp link http://intranet:8080/IQS/index.do only works from local host.
Do you think the other computers just need java installed? Let me try that. |

What happens when you try it with the IP adress: http://xxx.xxx.x.x:8080/iqs/index.do
404 error: is in the Apache log "index.do" the file which it does not find ?

I hope you all are ready for a good laugh
http://intranet:8080/IQS/index.do works
http://intranet:8080/iqs/index.do does not
So the directory string in the link is actually case sensitive. I have never seen that before in a URL 
So when I was testing on other computers I was manually typing the address all lower case. When I happened to paste the link in that had the caps it worked strait away. Case sensitive, mind = blown |
