Hi Tim and Burke, Yes still having issues. Tried Kyle's suggestion on Friday. Didn't work, but did cause a connection refused error in Apache. I just read Burke's suggestion below and my our IT admin here at KU just suggested the same thing. Going to recommend to Field IT. Stan Blum also indicated that he had issues with CentOS 5 and Tomcat 5 and went with fresh installs on a virtual server and Tomcat 6. Can't do a fresh system install in this situation, but might be able to update to Tomcat 6. Going to investigate the SELinux policy settings first. I'll keep the list posted as to the resolution. Thanks.

I happened to similar situations when every setting is honoured and it turns out the SELINUX add another layer of filtering communications of the linux box.

CentOS IPT Install
by Laura Russell 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

I'm having difficulty with a CentOS IPT Install that I'm doing for the Field Museum (in Chicago, I'm remote to their server from Kansas). The Field IT staff enabled their Tomcat on the server. And I've deployed the IPT. Permissions on the iptdata folder seem to be okay as it created all the folders and extension files in the first step. They are running CentOS 5.2 Tomcat 5.5.23 Java 1.6 I'm getting the following error when trying to complete the second setup page on the IPT. "The Base URL does not point to an IPT installation that is accessible from this computer." The URL is accessible outside of the firewall. I've also tried it with the IP address and get the same error. I chatted with Tim Robertson a bit yesterday and I've had the Field IT staff check that the port is open for both incoming and outgoing connections. They do not think their firewall is the issue so I'm looking at other possibilities. I've attached the Catalina.out file and the IPT Admin and Debug logs. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

All space-characters in metadata are replaced to plus-character
by Tero Mononen 10 Mar '12

Hi We have used this IPT-setup without any problems till now. System: Version 2.0.2-r3306 Apache Tomcat/6.0.24 JVM 1.6.0_29-b1 Problem: All space-characters in metadata are replaced to plus-character. For example title "foo bar car" is saved as "foo+bar+car". It affects in every text field in metadata. If I include at least one plus-char in a text value, it prevents the space replacement. For example "foo bar car+dar" is saved as it is. I think this is related to Java/Tomcat/urlencode. Do you have suggestions how to fix this problem?
