Can not access weblogic console from a different machine - linux

I am having trouble accessing the weblogic console from a different machine in the same network.
I installed weblogic on a server from a different machine by ssh. The weblogic is up and running, but now I can't access the console on a browser from my machine. Both machines are part of the same network.
I am able to SSH in to the server from my local machine. Ping also works on both machines using each other's IP address.
telnet gives me the following output:
am#Linux-Vostro-3250:~$ telnet 192.x.x.x 7002
Trying 192.x.x.x...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
This is confusing me, because I am able to access the server using ssh.
I searched everywhere for a possible solution, but I could only find more problems.
In very simple language, how do I resolve this issue or what exactly may the cause be?

There was no firewall cinfigured in the server. I set up a firewall by following the instructions from this site "https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/linux-firewall"
There are two GUI options but none of them worked for me so better stick to the CLI.
then, using the following command i granted access to my local machine from the server :
# Accept packets from specific host (x.x.x.x).
iptables -A INPUT -s x.x.x.x -j ACCEPT
Now i can access the Weblogic console from my x.x.x.x machine.

Docker Xdebug LAN / Public Dev server

I want to get Xdebug running in a semi secure manner over LAN in the office. Our current setup is as follows:
Local server on LAN network under 192.168.1.1 with Ubuntu Server 16
Multiple instances of docker with PHP / Apache running on Ubuntu server
Jwilder nginx proxy for forwarding all requests to individual docker containers
https://github.com/jwilder/nginx-proxy
Files are directly edited over an internal SMB share where Windows hosts connect to the Linux share. These are the hosts running PhpStorm.
The machine is exposed to the world using port 80. LAN has access to all ports.
I'm at a bit of a loss how to properly setup Xdebug using PhpStorm where only those within our LAN can trigger the debugger and debug from map files from a Linux host on Windows.
A DBGp proxy would be the answer here.
It limits all debugging connections from the web server to a single host inside the LAN.
It allows you to perform multi-user debugging with the help of IDE keys.
JFYI, in Xdebug, it's the web server that initiates a TCP connection to the client (the DBGp proxy in this case), so some Docker networking magic is required here.

SSH Tunnel to Ngrok and Initiate RDP

I am trying to access my Linux machine from anywhere in the world. I have tried originally port forwarding and then ssh'ing in; however, I believe my school's WiFi won't allow port forwarding (every time I ran it, it would tell me connection refused). I have setup an account with ngrok and I can remotely SSH in, but now I am wondering if it is possible to RDP. I tried connecting via the Microsoft Remote Desktop app on Mac, but it instantly crashes. I have also looked at trying to connect with localhost, but it's not working. So far, I have tried (with xxxx being the port):
ssh -L xxxx:localhost:xxxx 0.tcp.ngrok.io
and
ssh -L xxxx:localhost:xxxx <user>#0.tcp.ngrok.io
but my computer won't allow it and after about 2 or 3 times, it warns me of a possible DNS Spoofing. Is there anyway that I can run a remote desktop of my linux machine that I have ssh tunneled to (from my mac) on ngrok? Thank you!
First you'll need to sign up with ngrok if you haven't already and you'll be given an authtoken. You'll need to install this by running
./ngrok authtoken <insert your token here>
This will save your token to a file located ../username/.ngrok/ngrok.yml
Then you'll need to ask ngrok to create a TCP tunnel from their servers to your local machine's Remote Desktop port which should be 3389 by default
ngrok tcp 3389
Give it 30 seconds or so then jump to http://localhost:4040/status to see what the tcp address ngrok has allocated you. It should look something like tcp://1.tcp.ngrok.io:158764
Now you should be able to remote into your machine using address 1.tcp.ngrok.io:158764

Cannot access eclipse orion server from local machine using local IP

I have been given a centos server to lauch eclipse orion code editor. I installed eclipse orion as per the instruction on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/How_Tos/Install_Orion_on_Localhost (steps for linux using jetty server). It works fine on centos browser. The centos os is running on 198.168.1.226. So that I can access the following urls on web browser of centos.
198.168.1.226:8080
localhost:8080
127.0.0.1:8080
0.0.0.0:8080
But when I tried to access the 198.168.1.226:8080 from other local machines on local network, that is not accessible. I searched the StackOverflow Questions like how to make jetty server accessible from LAN? and Unable to access jetty server with local IP address but both are useless for me. How can I fix this situation? Can I fix it editing the code on orion.ini file or need to deal with configuration file or something else?
I have also tried the orion for windows computer but it worked itself for accessing the orion system for any other computer in local network. But I am surprised to face it on centos using the jetty server for setting up eclipse-orion system .
First of all check that have you allowed specific port (8080) from eclispse.
add rule with that port no. in centos iptables as below:-
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 (adjust according your port no.) -j ACCEPT

Linux to windows connection refused

I'm sure my lack of linux knowledge is what's causing this problem. I created a program in C# which uses QuickFix to do various things. I need this program to run on linux so I created an ubuntu virtual machine and recompiled the program with mono. The application starts ok but can't connect to my simulated exchange running on a windows machine. The error log returns Connection failed: Connection refused.
Could it be that I haven't setup linux properly?
Thanks
See if your VM can actually connect to that port (while the windows application is listening) with telnet:
telnet <ip> <port>
If telnet can't connect to the port, then you should probably check your VM network configuration, the interface configuration on ubuntu, and probably the firewall (both on windows and linux). Run ifconfig to see how your network is configured.

How to access nginx server from host machine, installed on guest VM ?

Host Machine - Win 7
Guest - Fedora
I have installed nginx web server on guest fedora machine and I can access the webpage inside guest machine using the interface address. How can I access the web page from host machine's browser ?
I am using bridged connection.
Router is assigning 192.168.0.16 to the guest machine's interface. I tried same address in my host machine but it doesn't work.
Based on your description:
First you should check your web application's config. You don't mention which type of your web application running on your Apache server, some are launched with the specific ip argment 127.0.0.1( or localhost), so kind of these web application can only be visited on your localhost computer. You should change the ip argument to 0.0.0.0
Second if the "Fisrt" failed, check the connection of the two server(host and your guest) by using telnet.
On your Win7, you can use the command:
telnet ip port
for example:
telnet 192.168.0.16 80
80 is the default port of Apache Http(s) Server.
if the command don't show the "connection refused" error, your Apache server is goood, so it might be something wrong of your web application.
If that, show me your error msg then we go on further.
