netstat -anop | grep java
The output should show the process ID of the Java application server running Camunda.
Find the address/interface that port 8080 is bound to. If it is bound to 127.0.0.1, then it may not be exposed to anything other than a browser running on the same server.
If you are running JBoss, then you can fix it by starting JBoss like this:
./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0
This may be way off base because you didn't describe the environment you're running it in, which has a profound effect on how to resolve this.
What I have found is that the Java application server may not always bind to an externally accessible interface (at least it didn't when I tried to use the JBoss management interface).
Another test would be to attempt to telnet to the port from an external server:
telnet <your server IP address> 8080
It should connect, then hit <ctrl>-] to exit. If it says connection refused then you would only be able to access it from a browser on the server where Camunda is running.
After the manual installation I couldn't start tomcat anymore and I receive the following error message: The CATALINA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly This environment variable is neede to run this program
Currently it looks like:
CATALINA_HOME : C:\Camundaproject\AppacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.65
JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java
PATH: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_43\bin;C:\Camundaproject\AppacheTomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.65\bin
Can anyone help me please?
