Cannot access web admin
« on: June 23, 2005, 07:22:21 PM »
I can access my admin section via ssh but cannot access the server manager via web browser. The server sits behind an adsl modem.

Any Suggestions, I have forwarded ftp and http from router to server but am not sure what else to do????

need...more...input  :hammer:

router == modem?
or do you mean:
client(->LAN)->router->sme->modem(->WAN)

server setup: server-only/server-gateway?
server version: 6.0/6.0.1/6.5rc1 etc...?
Origin of browser session: far side of modem (WAN)?
What remote access settings did you enable to test successfully with ssh?

Not allowed by default from remote web connections only from the local LAN.

If you have a static IP at your remote location (where the workstation you are accessing from is located) then you can add that IP in server manager/Remote access/Remote Management panel.
This will allow access using
https://yourdomain/server-manager

Alternatively create a ssh tunnel (HOWTO exists)
or
connect via VPN and then browse to
https://serverIP/server-manager
