I could use a little help. I had (past tense) a perfectly good SME7.1 server that was flawless for quite some time. Then I decided to move everything to a better machine and run 7.2. Now I can't seem to get the new server to allow web access from the outside. I'll try to provide the information that would help figure this out.
Ibays are set to allow public web access and write=group read=everyone and domains are set to point to them.
I can ping both the IP and domain name from the outside, but get nothing if I browse there.

I am using dyndns.org custom services, which have been stone reliable in the past.
It appears that webservices, network services, DNS, Authentication Services are not running. If this is the problem, how do I start the services, or have I just blown the new setup altogether?
An old rookie thanks you.

I wasn't going to answer this 'cause I'm not very experienced (so I apologize if this is dumb), but shouldn't these names be the name of your server?
Web server www.servername.local
Proxy server proxy.servername.local:3128
FTP server ftp.servername.local
SMTP, POP, and IMAP mail servers mail.servername.local
servername.local
looks like a place-holder name to me???
wait for more experienced user...but that's my 2 cents worth :grin:
-
Yes, those are placeholders, I actually put the server names in. Thanks for pointing it out though!

As you have experienced an issue after doing an upgrade, then the appropriate place to report this would be in bugzilla.
You should also list all add on contribs & packages that you have installed and ideally provide your real domain name details and do not obfuscate details.
Also (do this first), have you searched for/read other bug reports to see if there is something similar/identical to your problem ?

It is not the problem.
The services, i believe, is running.
Sme7admin displaying only some services, not all because sme7admin is now "less compatible" with sme 7.2.
Check this bug report http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2987 (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2987)
If you want to check wheter the service is running or not, you better watch
"Listening tcp sockets, and corresponding process :" in the same sme7admin page.
Let's analyse your problem :
- you can access your website from inside, then it is fine with your webserver.
- you have set Public access via web or anonymous ftp to you ibay to Entire Internet: Good.
- you can ping your domain which is dyndns domain : It means nothing, your router is the one who answer the ping because it is the one who is holding the IP pointed by dyndns DNS server.
I advice you to check this:
- maybe you need to open port forwarding FROM YOUR ROUTER to your smeserver box unless your smeserver set to DMZ in your router.

External IP address / subnet mask 192.168.1.96
That's not an Internet accessible address. As Thomas says, you must have a router between your SME server and the Internet, and it is not correctly configured to forward web traffic.

Thanks! The DSL is a Wirespeed Dual connect and is set to have port 80 open. It reports the local network at 192.168.1.96 .

It's obvious I am missing something, but whatever it is, it is over my head now.
