Connection timmed out when accessing Tomcat web manager

Question

I installed tomcat8 on a amazon ubuntu server from a windows computer using an online tutorial as a guide.

It started from command line, a message stated it was really running, but when I try to access the webapp, I get connection timmed out.

I went through a lot of possible online solutions, so I edited my tomcat-users.xml, my server.xml, but I dont get to load the app when I enter http://server_ip:8080

When I try localhost:8080 I get access denied.

How can I verify what is wrong, please?

Oh, I also added tomcat user, group and exported catalina path.

I'm really new to ubuntu, could you guys help me? Obrigada

this is what i get from catalina.out

The thing is, Im not using these ports anymore, I changed them in server.xml file to port 80.

Answer 1

What actually worked for me was opening 8080 port on aws. As simple as that haha :)
