cant connect over network

[taran0]

hi

hope someone can help me with this, its prob something really simple that i need to do.

I have OPENKM running on our internal Microsoft windows server 2003,
when i access localhost:8080/OpenKM it works fine on the server

But i cant access it from other machines on the network. The server has iis running on port 80 and we access that through typing in sbs2003 (not localhost) form all machines.

i have tried using the ip address or sbs2003 but i cant get to jboss or OpenKM. I can access the iis web server page by just typing in the ip address.

how can i access OpenKM from other machines, is it a setting i need to change or do i need to use another url.

would really appreciate some help on this as i have searched but can\'t find the answer.

Thanks
Taran

Start it with the following:

run -b 0.0.0.0

And that will solve your problems. Let me know if you get the OCR working in Windows.

thanks for the help.

that partially worked, i can now access the frontend from the other machines by using
http://sbs2003:8080/OpenKM/

but cant access it from the server - the server shows me the jboss page when i go to localhost:8080 but when i go to localhost:8080/OpenKM/ it says \"HTTP Status 404\"
\"the requested resource /OpenKM/ is not available\"

also from other machines i cant login using admin admin

to clarify i used your command -b 0.0.0.0 in the bin folder using command prompt.

Well, had you also tried just using: http://127.0.0.1:8080/OpenKM/

Using the host name \"localhost\" requires that you have the default entry in your hosts file still, which I assume you do, so it makes it stranger why it is not connecting from the server. Can you ping \"localhost\" from the server? Did you try just using its real host name or IP address; you get nothing special connecting using \"localhost\" or \"127.0.0.1\"

The \"-b 0.0.0.0\" command just opens the web server to accepting connections from any IP address, otherwise it would only allow connection from the server; well normally.

Lastly, if you try to connect just to http://anything:8080/ do you get the JBoss page or yet another 404?

actually its working on both ends now

i just restarted the server and its working great, just have to work out how to use it now

thanks very much for your help. really appreciate it.
