I'm running Tomcat 8 on an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance. The instance's operating system is Windows Server 2012.

I am trying to use my local PC's browser to connect to Tomcat on that instance. I configured the instance's security rules for inbound traffic to allow all addresses to access both ports 80 and 8080.

I know those rules are working because I ran a simple static web server on both those ports in turn and could access it from my local desktop.

Here is the unedited Tomcat server.xml file with the comments stripped out:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>



<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.VersionLoggerListener" />

  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" SSLEngine="on" />

  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.JreMemoryLeakPreventionListener" />

  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener" />

  <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.ThreadLocalLeakPreventionListener" />



  <GlobalNamingResources>

    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"

              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"

              description="User database that can be updated and saved"

              factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"

              pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />

  </GlobalNamingResources>



  <Service name="Catalina">

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

               connectionTimeout="20000"

               redirectPort="8443" />

    <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

    <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">

      <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.LockOutRealm">

        <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"

               resourceName="UserDatabase"/>

      </Realm>



      <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"

            unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

        <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" directory="logs"

               prefix="localhost_access_log" suffix=".txt"

               pattern="%h %l %u %t &quot;%r&quot; %s %b" />

      </Host>

    </Engine>

  </Service>

</Server>

One suggestion I tried was to add address="0.0.0.0" to Connector tag for port 8080

Another suggestion was to add useIPVHosts="true" to Connector tag for port 8080 and/or add resolveHosts="true" to Valve tag

I tried other suggestions as well but they're pretty much a mashup of the ones I've already mentioned.

Can someone please tell me how to configure server.xml to allow Tomcat 8 to accept connections from other than localhost?
