I have installed Alfresco Community Edition on to CentOS with apache already running. The install went fine but can't connect to 8080. Thoughts?

I couldn't connect to port 9090 until I added a rule in iptables

sudo iptables -I INPUT 7 -p tcp --dport 8080 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

Hello.

What do you mean?

Did you have an Tomcat instance running on the same server?

If is the case, then I believe the easy way to solve it would be to uninstall Alfreco and install it again, using a different port, like 9090.

Yes, that is correct. However, it did not ask me what port to use when I installed Alfresco.

Thank you for your help!

You have to choose the Advanced install.

The basic one will use default ports.

Ok, I uninstalled it and reinstalled and used port 9090 and I still can't connect. It times out.

Are you using the text mode?

I am asking this because that is what I know better, and I know it offers the option to set the custom port.

Would you mind copying all the setup process text and sharing it here?

Yes, I am using text mode.

Sure! Thank you again for your help!

I upload the file alfresco-community-installer-201707-linux-x64.bin via FTP to the server.

went to the directory it was uploaded to and used the command

./alfresco-community-installer-201707-linux-x64.bin to install

it ran the set up. The first time I did it, I chose the simple install

and when that didn't work, I followed your directions and uninstalled it

and then reinstalled it. This time, I chose the advanced install and selected

different ports. I chose 9090 as the main port. The install completed 

and didn't show any errors and started running, but I can't connect to it.

http://10.1.12.225:9090  is the url but it times out.

Apache still works and is up and running.

Thanks again!
