Re: [Archive-access-discuss] remote access wayback

Hi Allen,

"I cannot view anything on my laptop" is a bit vague, so I'll try to 
cover some of the background issues.

Depending on your network configuration (DHCP & DNS mostly) your IP 
addresses may be static, so your PC will always have that IP address, or 
they may vary. If they vary, it may be a bit more complex to get the 
machines reliably talking to one another.

First, make sure you laptop can 'ping' your PC. If not, you have 
non-wayback issues that you'll have to work through first.

Next make sure your tomcat's security configuration allows your laptop 
to access it, try "http://10.17.32.141:8080/wayback/" in your laptop's 
web browser. If you see *anything* that's coming from wayback, even if 
missing images, stylesheets, etc, then this step is working, and you can 
proceed. Otherwise, you'll need to see the tomcat documentation: once 
you are able to get any webapp visible to your laptop, you can proceed.

For now, we'll call your PC's address, PCNETNAME, and let's assume we'll 
hard code in the IP address, "10.17.32.141".

So, start by changing all occurrences in your wayback.xml from any of:

     "localhost", "localhost.archive.org", "127.0.0.1"

to PCNETNAME. For example, your replayURIPrefix might look something 
like: "http://10.17.32.141:8080/wayback/".

Then restart tomcat, and you should be set.

You can talk to your network administrator about assigning a name to 
your PC via DNS, or if that is not an option, you can look at the 
documentation for the "/etc/hosts" file. This will let you hard-code a 
name that maps to the PC's IP address, letting you change your PCNETNAME 
to something more memorable, "allenswayback.org" or any other name you'd 
prefer. Again, this is not a durable solution if your IP addresses vary.
