Title: Admin Http interface --> Public
Post by: David on September 06, 2000, 01:02:42 AM

Hi,

I was wondering how (which file to change) it was possible to connect on the Http interface from the outside of the local network. I know it's unsecure but I really need it.

Thank you

dave

LOL...you are a MASTER of understatement..it's SERIOUSLY insecure! :)  However I empathize...I have been in the same situation myself :)

SSH is the best way, and Charlie Brady posted instructions for installing that on the development site. (It's VERY cool) ;)

If i need the manager for a day or so, externally, I edit the REAL http.conf in the /ETC directory and restart the http server when I'm done.

Just look for the e-smith-manager alias and remove the restrictions there.

reset your config when you no longer need it externally though! This will overwrite your changes.

-s.
