Accessing alfresco from the Lan.

tippmann

Guys i know some you figured this out already and it is not a big of the deal, but i do not have too much linux experience. Here is my problem i install alfresco on cent os (text mode) now everything seems to be working as it is but i cannot access alfresco from another computer for example http://{serve rip}:8080/share. the guide says something that i need to Define a name for the server and create the publicly addressable name but i don't have an idea on how to accomplish this task. can you guys please post a guide on how to do this or a link to follow, google has nothing for me i had tried everything. remember i only have CLI support.

thanks in advance.

Hi Tippmann,

I cannot understand deeply your problem but I suggest you to look in the alfresco-global.properties because there you will be able to set the url, port, etc. of your alfresco share (and explorer).

Alternatively try to read this <a href="http://francescocorti.wordpress.com/2013/01/09/installation-alfresco-4-2-c-on-ubuntu/">post</a>
Ok, it's not the exactly your case but probably could help you to understand what to do.

Hope this will help you…

Hello fcorti

Thank you for your fast response. My question is how can i access alfresco from another computer that the one it is install?. I already tried alfresco-global.properties but nothing happen when i changed the file. I will keep reading your second suggestion.

thank you

you need to have a DNS server in your domain
and DM name should be there in DNS server entry, the scope of how to setup DNS server is not realted with Alfresco
please check the link

Hi Tippmann,
Please check the following.
1) Does the Alfresco server (where you installed alfresco) and the client machines(which machine you're trying to access) are in the same network?
2) Are you able ping the alfresco machine from the client machine?
3) From the client machine,will you be able to access the any content from Alfresco server?
4) Do you have any firewall which is blocking the client -server request?
5) Are you able to access alfresco server's tomcat in the client machine? (http://serverIP: port)

Thank you guys for your fast response.

DNS settings are not really necessary if you are going to use the ip address of the server. Besides i do have a dns server and that did not work.

Network settings are perfect, every config i input on the server is thru ssh using private Lan ip 192.168.x.x. I cannot access any content on the server from any computer. I there a way thru CLI to have access to the web page? and no firewall is blocking my connection i have it disable.

In your first posting you mentioned

 the guide says something that i need to Define a name for the server and create the publicly addressable name but i don't have an idea on how to accomplish this task. can you guys please post a guide on how to do this or a link to follow

So I gave the DNS suggestion.
Now for trouble shooting
1) Can you access the URL 127.0.0.1:8080/share from the server itself.
2) Please look into the log files, what it says

tippmann

sorry guys it was the firewall blocking my access to alfresco from the pan. Now how can i enable an iptable rule to be able to access it from other computers

gianggman

Thanks guys! My problem was solved. The firewall blocked requests.

olajaohn

I read your suggestion that firewall may be blocking but I did not pay attention until after I spent 2 days and nights, stocked in the office and away from my bed and wife. Then I came to read again, check one after the other and realized that FIREWALL IS THE PROBLEM.

Thanks for that suggestion and I encourage users to read and try solutions.
