Topic: Change Port for server manager

[addodge]

Hi,
I am working with Verizon DSL and i am pretty sure that they are blocking port 80.  Is there a way to change the port that SME listens on for the server manager?
Thanks
Andy

By default you can only access server-manager from local network. So Verizon blocking port 80 has no effect on that.
If you know how to configure SME server to be accessed from outside of your local network, you can only access server-manager using https which uses port 443, so port 80 blocking has no effect on that ether.

The server-manager can also be reached via https://192.168.1.1:980/server-manager

Note:- the :980

I also have a similar question but not directly related to server manager.

Assuming that port 80 is blocked, how would you set up say the web front end for mail to work. I know that you initially hit 80 then it goes into 443. Will this work right "out of the box" config?

Also what about ibays or vhosts?

You'll need to use a service like from zoneedit.com or everydns.net called a "web forward".  Both are free/by donation.

Cool..Ive always just given in and bought static lines and not had to deal with it but if this saves me money then Im all for it.

Ill have to read through the darn contract and see if there is anyhting prohibiting me from hosting.

The same applies to webmail.

It miht be possible, but not necessary. Just port forward port 81 to localhost:80.

Not it can't.

Yes, but not 192.168.1.1.

[Stefano]

Yes, but not 192.168.1.1.

ok.. it makes sense.. when I use ssh tunnels to connect to remote server, I call http://localhost:980/server-manager and it work.. because I'm calling localhost..

thanks

Charlie,

Yes, but not 192.168.1.1.

If you had configured your routed to have it's gateway on 192.168.1.253 and the server gets assigned statically/dynamically 192.168.1.1

wouldn't this be the proper way?

No, port 980 is not accessible no matter what the IP address assignments.
