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 Shocked

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
