I forgot... windows automatically replaces IP addresses with hostnames when hostnames are known. SubranilBasu is your hostname and it matches your ip address 127.0.0.1.

The concept of listening on all/an interface is the following: when you start a server it can accept queries from all interfaces (it's listening on ip1:8085, ip2:8085, 127.0.0.1:8085 - or a more compact way of writing this is: 0.0.0.0:8085). The server can be started listening only on one interface (for instance listening for queries on the loopback interface 127.0.0.1) - and it will not reply to queries that come on other interfaces.

This is what the Listen directive does in apache. I think that it should be Listen 0.0.0.0:8085 if you want to enable the web server on all interfaces (but I haven't checked).

Hi Adrian,

I did as u suggested and next to port 8085 I see SubranilBasu:0  LISTENING
and not 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1
as u have stated.


I don't understand the terms "listening on all interfaces" and "listening
only on loopback".Could u pls explain them.

Thanks for your reply.

Regards.

Make sure your server listens on all interfaces, not only on loopback. You need to check apache's config for this and restart the server.

Also, you can do netstat -a (I think) on your windows system and look for your port (8085). If next to it you see 0.0.0.0, it means the server is listening on all interfaces. If you see 127.0.0.1, it means the server is listening only on loopback.

Good luck.

Hi,

I am displaying map using mapserver and openlayers in aspx(ASP.NET) page.
But problem is that the map is displayed only on local machine and not
from
a remote machine on the Lan or Internet.
On doing some r&D i found that if the url is given as in a local machine
i.e

http://localhost:8085/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=WR_Shape/wrmap.map&mode=map

Then map is displayed.
But if it is given like this,

http://172.16.128.173:8085/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=WR_Shape/wrmap.map&mode=map

then it is not.

So how can I get mapserver to display map with IP.

Thanks for your replies.
