Can’t access Tomcat using IP address

You need allow ip based access for tomcat in server.xml, by default its disabled.
Open server.xml search for ”

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           URIEncoding="UTF-8"
           redirectPort="8443" />

Here add a new attribute useIPVHosts=”true” so it looks like this,

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           URIEncoding="UTF-8"
           redirectPort="8443"
           useIPVHosts="true" />

Now restart tomcat, it should work
