Making my OpenKM installation open to the outside world
PostPosted:Wed Feb 12, 2014 3:27 pm
I've read this page:
http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Basic_ ... _knowledge
Where it says this:
Making OpenKM accessible from other computers
By default, Tomcat only listens for connections on localhost. If you want to access OpenKM from other computers modify the file $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml, adding the address="0.0.0.0" attribute to the Connector if it doesn't already exist.
<Connector address="0.0.0.0" connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443"/>
Windows
\bin\catalina.bat start
Upon installation of OpenKM, I checked server.xml and found that the above Connector-line is already present in it.
Therefore you shouldn't have to add anything at all to server.xml, right?
Then I ran catalina.bat as described above.
Now I run the OpenKM start-script, and my OpenKM server boots.
So far, so good.
I checked my IP-address which is x1-6-2c-b0-5d-ad-0a-ca.cpe.webspeed.dk.
To test if others can connect to my OpenKM-server, I therefore typed this in the browser:
http://x1-6-2c-b0-5d-ad-0a-ca.cpe.websp ... /login.jsp
Now the OpenKM-login screen should be displayed, right?
It doesn't.
Google Chrome says: "Oops! Couldn't make a connection to x1-6-2c-b0-5d-ad-0a-ca.cpe.webspeed.dk"
Then I tried this:
http://x1-6-2c-b0-5d-ad-0a-ca.cpe.websp ... /login.jsp
Same result.
How can that be?
I checked my firewall, and the Apache HTTP Server is on the list of programs that are allowed Public access.
Therefore it should be possible to connect to my OpenKM-server, right?
Can anyone see why it doesn't work?
Thanks!
Best,
Henrik
