Topic: configurating via internet

[Sander]

I cant configure my e-smith via web browser.
I have IE 6.0 and i can see my web page (but it wont show any pictures) and when i try to access the server through ip address(because i dont have a domain) i get a response that this page canot be displayed(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/e-smith-manager), or this page cannot be found(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/e-smith).

Must i enable something to access it via web or do i have ti get netscape or a lower version of IE?

Please help me

It works fine for me with ie6.. Are you trying to adminster locally (LAN) or via the internet.

If it is the internet then it wont work, by design and not by error

my e-smith servers ip address is 192.168.0.5 and when i try to connect via ie to 192.168.0.5 the browser sais that the page can not be viewed. When i put in my ip address of the internet it goes to the web page with no problem.

Is there any difference between configurations via browser and config via text mode browser in e-smith server?

Greetings,

If your internet connection is going to a proxy, you have to set the browser to go not trough proxy for local adresses. And you have to put your local ip to the adress list wich are used not trough proxy.

First, your images not showing up is a permissions problem.  Try this:  telnet or ssh into your server. login as root.  type this: cd home/e-smith/files/primary - then hit return.  Next type:  chmod 775 -R html  - return.  You should be able to see your images.

Second, try typing into the address bar - 192.168.1.5:980

If you're sitting on your loacal LAN, access:
192.168.0.5:980
or
192.168.0.5/e-smith-manager

If you're on an outside location an d would to administer your server use an ssh client and redirect your local port on the e.g. laptop :980 to :980.
For setting up ssh connection to your e-smith server and client read the howtos of e-smith.
