I found the answer, use this to allow remote access to tomcat7 on port 8080:



iptables -I INPUT 1 -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

It looks like you are using a Linux distribution (like CentOS) which blocks 8080 (or more ports) in firewall rules by default. You can test this by running iptables-save

and see if there are rules blocking any port.

If this case holds



sudo iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

to unlock 8080.
