Networking You must be able to resolve localhost as SIM uses it to grant access to MySQL. To ensure
that this is possible, execute:
nslookup localhost
The response should be 127.0.0.1, which is the standard IP for the localhost.
Additionally, these Tomcat ports must be available:
1190 - Http 1.1 Connector
50001- Tomcat shutdown port
You can use the telnet command to determine if the port is available.
telnet [
hostname ] [ port number ]
