xampp server and java client/server application

Question

hiho,

i intend to develop just a litte network application, something like a chat. so i downloaded xampp for windows and installed it (also as service), mysql included. well, i started the apache (and mysql) as service and just wrote the short line in java:

 try {
     Socket sock = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 21);
     System.out.println("connection established");
 } catch ( UnknownHostException e ) {
     System.out.println("Can't find host.");
 } catch ( IOException e ) {
     System.out.println("Error connecting to host. " + e.toString());
 }

but directly i got the answer:

Error connecting to host. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

the server is runnin'. the localhost is accessible on the browser.

did i forgot something? any ideas?

Answer 1

In your java code you're trying to connect to port 21 (ftp). Don't know what you want to do, but perhaps you should try port 80 (http).

Answer 2

Did you download and install the Tomcat add-on for XAMPP? It's not part of the default install.

After it's extracted into the XAMPP folder you have to run first setup_xampp.bat and then tomcat_start.bat.

Also, Tomcat in XAMPP will use the 8080 port by default.
