Topic: Plone2

[Wilheim]

Hi all.

I'm trying to get Plone 2 working on a test system; the rpm's went in fine, I can access everything via Lynx when I ssh into the server, but when I try to access plone from the LAN I get a connection refused error... I think it's because plone works on port 9080 and the server blocks it...

Suggestions?

I suspect if you read that you will find the how-to that I used.

Unfortunately, when I try and follow the how-to, I get to the point where I have to add a Virtual Host Monster, and Lynx (on the server via PuTTY)won't allow the operation to get to the form...

Perhaps if I knew the URL of the VHM form...

Lynx is a text-based browser on the server. It can't handle Zope and Plone manager frames.

The instructions intended that you use your regular browser (e.g., Firefox) from the machine on which you are running PuTTY after you have the PuTTY session running to the server (i.e., after you have logged on to the server through PuTTY, start Firefox on your Windows machine and enter the url indicated).

Thanks for that. PuTTY seems to be a bit tricky for this, but Cygwin works a treat. Now all I have to do is learn how to use Plone. Simple!
