Topic: Problem Configuring Plone After Install

[altamaiz]

Hi I've followed a similar thread concerning the installation of plone and have plone installed, but I don't understand what's keeping the site and zope accessible from outside my network.
I have SME installed as a gateway.
I have a zope instance and plone product on an ibay, ploneserver.
I've left the IP Address section in zope.conf commented out, which I believe means zope will listen on all available interfaces.
Now internally I can hit http://domain:8080/ploneserver and it works fine, but outside the network it is not accessible.
What's blocking it from view?
Thank you,
Jeff

I haven't tried Plone the way you're trying (I've used an Apache rewrite rule), but it may be something to do with port 8080, which I think Squid uses, so Apache may be stopping you - not sure though. Did you stop and restart Plone after you'd made the change?

Are you using the RPMs I posted here? I've configured Plone to use 9080 instead. If you'd like information on the rewrite rule, let me know.

Thank you for the response, yes I followed:

however I did read about your rpm as well, Des.

I guess I'm just not sure what my options are, or more importantly, how to troubleshoot and determine what's actually going on.

I was under the impression that the apache rewrite rules would simply rewrite a given domain/port to another, and  I'm thinking that this is more related to firewall or some other process using 8080, etc.

Thanks again,
Jeff
