Hi all:

I have downloaded and setup (using default admin settings) J2EE appserver for Win2k platform. As instructed in the documentation in the set up folder, I start the default server from Start->Programs->Sun Microsystems->J2EE 1.4 SDK->Start Default Server. Once deployed as instructed in the documentation, I try to access the localhost (by clicking the http://localhost:8080 link on the documentation page, or typing it in the address bar). However, I am unable to see any web page on the browser window, and get a general error message. I am unable to run any other user or admin application too.

I am using IE 6.0, though I haven't tried this on Netscape 5.0 or Opera 7.0. Is there something wrong with the settings in my browser, or setup, or am I missing some setup or configuration step? I am using the default port settings (4848 for admin, 8080 for http and such).

Please advise, or mail [email protected]

Do you have a local firewall that is preventing access to port 8080?

Hi:

Let me rephrase the question. I am using the default server settings, and the thing works with Opera 7.0 and Netscape 7.0. However, with IE 6.0, everything breaks down. I am sure it has something to do with the settings of the IE 6.0 browser, but I am not able to figure which settings I need to tinker around with.

I have compared the settings of all 3 browsers.

OK,so assuming you have checked your local firewall settings try this:

Internet Explorer>tools>internet options>security then set the local intranet to its lowest setting. I think you also have to have cookies enabled: tools>internet options>privacy>advanced.

Hi:

I tried setting the IE settings to the minimum security level possible, with all cookies enabled. However, the problem persists.

Please help

what does it do if you try ;

http://127.0.0.1:8080

or the same without http:// at the start ?

Hi....

It works perfectly alright with all 3 browsers (IE 6, Netscape 7 and Opera 7.11) if I enter http://127.0.0.1:8080/ However, if I omit the http:// header, IE 6 again fails, though it works for the other 2 browsers.

What is going on? Could you explain

check the "hosts" file located in the WINDOWS directory. open it with notepad. see whether there is a line "127.0.0.1 localhost".
if there isn't then add one. good luck.
