I am trying to stand up tomcat6 and just view the default page. Everything is installed and running correctly (or so it seems). I start the server

sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat6 start

and everything starts up fine. 

 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat6
   ...done.

When I run a netstat, I can see that it is listening like expected on port 8080. 

tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8005          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.65:22         99.44.242.76:50769      ESTABLISHED
tcp        0    272 192.168.1.65:22         99.44.242.76:50552      ESTABLISHED
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN     
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:68              0.0.0.0:*

But anytime I try to go to the X.X.X.X:8080, the page times out because the server is not responding. I look in the logs and there are no errors. I would be happy to post the logs, but they just have normal start up stuff. So I know that the server is running, and I know that I am pointed at the right place, but in between the 2 something is configured wrong. Please point me in the right direction.

    Are you accessing remotely to that server? Try to check if there is any proxy, subnet or something that makes the packages not to reach the destination.
    First try to access to the server locally.

    “http://Localhost:8080”

    Then, from another computer check if ping works. if not, check if both are in the same domain

    ADDED:

    However if you have access to start tomcat you should be to test it locally:

    remotelly:

    traceroute -p 8080 your.server.ip

    on the server:

    traceroute -p 8080 localhost
