can't access OpenKM 6.2 from remote machine

[DavidDeb]

Hi All,

... and yes I know this was posted previously ('sidtupper' Oct. 16) and I even knew the (thoerical) answer ... Problem is that even when I alter ..\tomcat\conf\server.xml, changing the connection address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0, I still cannot get the client browser (IE9 on Win7 x64 machine) to connect to the server running on a WinXP x86 VM (Oracle). I have tried using the VM name and also its IP - which is pingable BTW - but all attempts have failed. The 'old' version 5.x ran without issues ...

Any ideas ?

brgds,

Have you confirmed the server is running at all (login from local machine possible?)? Have you opened port 8080 through windows firewall?

Hi,

this VM - hosted on the PC that is issuing the query - is running the OpenKM appl. and can be opened on the VM with the browser (IE8), the firewall is not blocking this port. In addition when runnnig ver 5.x there were no issues when accessing from the host (Win7 x64, 6 core, 12gB. with IE9)

I hope this helps

Local access works, so OpenKM is running fine. Is your virtual machines networking konfigured as nat or bridging (prefer bridging)? You say, your older installation worked fine - are there remnants of OKM 5.x and jboss left? Maybe apache involved?

Take a look here for tomcat http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Basic_ ... _knowledge
Ensure no other application is binding port 8080 !

VM networking = bridging and, to the best of my knowledge there are no 5.x / JBoss or other remnants of anything used previously ...

I am assuming that, since I removed all previous files relating to the version of OpenKM in use (see my reply to 'mcjaeger'), there is nothing running that will preempt port 8080. I will check the linked Tomcat documentation shortly, thanks.
