Hi,

Stupid newbie question here probably!

I installed OpenKM successfully on our webserver and I can open the webpage on it as instructed: http://localhost:8080/OpenKM

Now how to I expose this to the world - or at least our employees? I tried replacing localhost with the server IP address, but that didn't work. Do I need to put some settings into IIS to make this be seen as a real web site on the Windows Server?

Or am I completely missing the plot?

Regards,
Fiona

You must execte run.bat with -b .0.0.0.0 options to binding jboss service to all network interfaces, it'll solve that from any computer into your network have access to OpenKM.

Take a look at wiki, not only quick installation guide, all installation guide has interesting information that you might read.

Hope it could help you

What I did when I had a server, since i was using my localhost ip and my external for others,is I made two realms leading to the same port.One localhost and one external.These realms were actually the same "realm" just 2 ways of accessing it.One was for me, the other for everyone else.We could still see each other. Everything else should be localhost if I'm not mistaken.
