[FIXED] tomcat server times out on start after binding to specific address

Issue

I bound my tomcat server to a specific address of a VM it's running on in order to open it up to HTTP requests on port 8443 like thus.

    <Connector port="8443" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
       address="192.168.122.15"
           connectionTimeout="20000"
           redirectPort="8443" />

Now the server times out even if I set the start timeout timer to 600 seconds (10 minutes)

I tried the following:

Tomcat 7 times out during start up

Neither of these solutions work.

Solution

Please check connection port and redirection one, as you are trying to redirect to the same port you are binding:

<Connector port="8443" [....] redirectPort="8443" />

Regards.
