Subject: [Zope] Making Zope Accessible From Internet
I have successfully gotten a Plone installation to serve requests on
localhost. Next, I would like to have it serve remote requests.
I'm using a dialup account and therefore a dynamic IP. I have tried
shutting
down the firewall, manually entering the current IP of my machine in the
YaST
"Hosts" dialogue but Zope doesn't appear to get the requests.
From what I've managed to partially digest about networking, this could be
missing configuration in the routing tables, DNS lookup, network
interface,
etc. Etc. Etc. I don't think it's actually something as simple as the
zope.conf file, or even anything I can learn from studying Apache
configuration. Does this seem accurate?
Short answer:
- make sure zope is running
- make sure no other web server (apache, etc) is running
- shut down the firewall (very scary mon! - if you can just expose port 8080
it would be safer)
- add ':8080' to the dynamic url you are using (eg. http://x.x.x.x:8080) and
see if that works (you shouldn't have to mess with anything else, unless
your machine is running apache or some other front-end web server, a basic
zope install will look for http requests on port 8080 of the url of the
local box)
I have accessed a zope installation running on a box, in a private lan, that
has been exposed thru the firewall (via a dmz) on a dynamic IP and it works
fine (until the ip address gets reset)
Good luck!
Jonathan
