My server does not work when i connect my client to it using my external ip

Hi, Akshay.

Could provide some more information about what's going on? When you say it "doesn't work" do you
mean that the SJ client can't find it all? Can you hit your SJ server with a web browser at all?
Have you exposed any servlet apps on your external ip before? This sounds like a webserver
configuration issue, but it's hard to tell without more info.

Thanks for your prompt info... My Tomcat is not accessable from the interne=
t=20
but it is if i use intranet.. I am guessing its something to do with the=20
server and it binds only to localhost. Do you know where Tomcat5 keeps its=

config inside the conf directory like Apache?

I'm sorry, I'm not really an expert. You'll probably just have to check the Tomcat and Apache
documentation.

Though this is now off-topic, is it just a Tomcat problem, or it's =
simply that the host is unreachable from the internet, whatever port you =
try to reach (ping, etc.)? It then may be a router/firewall issue, as by =
default Tomcat doesn't have a restricted binding. That is configured in =
the conf/server.xml file.

Hi, Akshay,

What kind of configuration are you running?  If you
have a firewall, is it open to the outside on the
correct port (e.g. port 80)?

If you want to keep the general public from attempting
to log into your SJ archives then you can consider
creating a SSH tunnel and then accessing SJ through
that.

Setting up SSH can be a bit of an exercise but well
worth the effort once you get everything working.

Thanks for your response Stan

Does SSH work on windows? BEcause I dont think so. This is a public server=
=20
with a username and password for my friends and my project mates.

about ssh I have just changed my server for a powerfull one : P4/3Ghz/512Mo. The access is quicker 
with the client gui, but I still could not work with ssh. The server is correctly connected, but 
very often I have errors. In the finer log I found many time null pointer errors during zipping 
files. So I stay with port 80.

SSH works on Windows as well as *nix.  My
configuration is a Linux server with Windows clients. 
I use the free SSH client called PuTTY.

Setting it all up was quite a bit of working since
there was a dearth of information at the time (early
2002).  There was little information of the Internet. 
The O'Reilly book on subject (SSH, The Secure Shell)
helped a lot with the concepts but it took a lot of
trial and error to set it up.  Hopefully the situation
is a lot more friendly these days.

But once you set it up it works great.  The Windows
clients can access the SJ archives securely over the
public Internet.  We also access our POP email through
the SSH tunnel instead of exposing port 110.  We also
have several web-based applications (SJ being one of
them) that also get tunnelled through SSH so that we
don't have to expose port 80 either.

Hi, Akshay,

SSH will work on a Windows server.  If you don't
control the server, then SSH would have to be a
service offered by the public server, or you would
have to persuade them to add it.

A *nix box usually comes with SSH.  You just have to
configure it and activate it.  It's more work and may
cost money for a Windows server.  Winddows clients
vary between free (e.g. PuTTY) and for-pay.
