Hi All,
I am trying to install an instance of IPT. I'm working on a Win11 laptop and have installed Tomcat 9. If I go to "localhost:8080" I can see that Tomcat has installed just fine. However, when I go to manager app to install the "ipt.war" file, using the "war file to deploy" file upload, after hitting the deploy button the browser errors out with a message that it "can't reach this page" and "the connection was reset". So, to get around this, I copied the ipt.war file to the Tomcat webapps folder and then restarted Tomcat. This installed/deployed the ipt folder and I can access the ipt pages at localhost:8080/ipt. However, when I try to enter the public URL for the ITP in the settings, it gives an error "The Public URL does not point to an IPT installation that is accessible from this computer. http://%7Bpublic ip address}:8080/ipt". I have opened port 8080 for incoming and outgoing connections for both TCP and UDP in the windows 11 firewall and have also enabled port forwarding for that port on my router so the connection will pass to the laptop. If I enter the {public ip address}:8080, it will display the Tomcat Home screen, but when I add the "/ipt" to the address, it says "you are not authorized to view this page".
Does anyone know what I need to do to allow a connection to the IPT pages from an outside IP address? Is there some setting in Tomcat that needs to be changed? Thanks! Jim
