linux tomcat listen

I am running tomcat 6 on Centos 6.4 and have started it sucessfully. There were no errors on start. catalina.log reads:

2012-08-11 14:23:42,941 | INFO  | main | o.a.c.http11.Http11NioProtocol | Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-xx.xx.xx.xx-8080
2012-08-11 14:23:42,960 | INFO  | main | o.a.catalina.startup.Catalina | Server startup in 121483 ms

And ps -x shows it as running.

Unfortunately it is not responding on port 8080 however and netstat -atnp | grep LISTEN does not list it.

Any ideas of what could cause this?

If the problem is that the port is not configured in iptables like Nash suggests, then you can configure it as follows:

vi  /etc/sysconfig/iptables

add the following line to the file:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT

save the file on exit and restart iptables:

service iptables restart
