I created a RedHat 6.1 VM with EC2. Logged in as root, I installed (unzipped) JDK1.7 in /root/bin/jdk1.7.0 and installed (unzipped) GlassFish 3.1.1 in /root/bin/glassfish3. I set JAVA_HOME and GLASSFISH_HOME in root's .bash_profile and I started GlassFish.

It's definitely running, because if I do a wget localhost:8080 from the command line, wget downloads the index.html file. The problem is, when I browse to the machine at http://ec2-107-20-96-43.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080, I get nothing.

I added port 8080 to the VM's security group; is there something else I have to do there? Is there something else I have to do on the linux machine to make 8080 visible?

  • Are you sure that your server is listening on your forward-facing interface? Commented Sep 16, 2011 at 2:44
  • @Chris - thanks for the suggestion; it looks like the problem was with the EC2 security group settings Commented Sep 16, 2011 at 3:02
  • Just a suggestion: don't start glassfish as root and don't install software in root's home directory. On the security point of view it's a very bad idea. Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 8:45

I spent some more time with the EC2 security groups. I allowed all incoming TCP ports and it looks like it's working now. I guess I didn't have port 8080 open correctly.
