[IPT] CentOS IPT Install

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.

Hi Laura,

Perhaps you would also want to check the SELINUX policy settings on the
CentOS box. 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.

Cheers,

Burke
