Not able to connect the Tomcat server installed in VM through outside network

Question

Hi Team,
I have created a VM, then installed Java / Tomcat Server inside the VM. After installed the Tomcat server, I could access the Tomcat server's home page using http://localhost:8080/ inside VM.
I have assigned the DNS name for the VM as well. I could not access the same Tomcat server home page using the DNS assigned to the VM, inside the VM itself.
I have setup the InboundRule for port 80 and 443 to the NSG tied to the VM. (The NSG is tied to the subnet anyway).
I have setup the Windows defender firewall Rule as well with port 80 to be allowed. Still, I could not access the tomcat server's home page with DNS name configured (in other words, with public ip configured) inside the VM and outside the VM.

Hello,

Is this issue got resolved? If not try adding the hostname to Tomcat server's workers.properties file and see if it is serving the page on this virtual host. Let us know if this doesn't help in your case.
