Topic: web site is ok on local network but don't work on internet

[serpent49]

hi,

I have a problem with my SME server 5.1.2.
My web site is accessible on my local network, but is not accessible by Internet with IP Internet.
Why my site web is not accessible on the web ? Where is the file to configure the server web ?

thx

have you got a web site made??
Are you behind a firewall?
Is your firewall forwarding 80 to your server?
Is your server turned on?
Are you connected to the internet?

You will probably need to check the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
file.  You will need to make sure that SME is setting up a virtual host and listening ont the IP address supplied by your ISP.

My private/gateway services only the local lan - but in a
pinch - I can hand edit the /etc/.../httpd.conf file and
copy the internal virtual server to the ISP address supplied by my ISP and add a 'Listen xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz:80'  (replacing the
xyz with my gateway's IP) and the site is visible on the outside.

hi,

 I modified the file HTTPD.CONF and my server Web works correctly. I have another probleme, I have a dynamic IP, how should I configure my HTTPD.CONF so that ca works correctly?

Thx

I had the same problem. I did modify the file httpd.conf too, on the same way as you discribed. It seems to work. There is only one problem. If you make changes in the E-smith-manager than all modifications are overwritten.
So you must modify the templates /etc/e-smith/templates. But does somebody know which template and how I must modify???

Actually, why do we have all this trouble? Why SME is not created the right httpd.conf ? Did we do something wrong during installation? I was busy 4 days to partially solve this problem!!!
