Hello everyone,
I am attempting to install Dspace 8 on Ubuntu 24.04 which is behind a kemp load balancer. I am wondering if I need to have port 8983 open on the kemp in order for Solr to work properly. I have installed the backend on a local machine and can see Solr admin and the HAL browser without any issue but now I am trying to do the same on a server provisioned by IT. I see a number of error messages related to the connection being refused in the Tomcat logs and it is preventing the webapp from starting. This following is an excerpt from localhost.log:

I am not clear on everything that is happening here and I am hoping that someone can provide some guidance. Initially I thought it was my use of server.xml in /conf/Catalina/localhost so I tried the other method of copying /webapps/ with the same result so that got me thinking about my actual setup.
Thanks in advance,
Marcia Johnson
