Internet access to OFBiz

[Len Parker]

Good morning,

I've made a few cosmetic changes to OFBiz, and now I'm ready to go show
the boss what a truly great tool it is. We've talked, and he seems very
interested.

So much for the good news!

I've looked high and low, but I can't seem to find how to allow access
from someplace other than the localhost. Its not my firewall, cause I
turned it off.

What am I missing?

A static IP, a domain name, or potentially turning off your firewall :)  

Even when it runs on localhost it's accessible across the internet by default.  If you're putting it up on a server where localhost is not appropriate there are things that you'll have to get into which are spelled out in the Production Setup Guide on docs.ofbiz.org, but this doesn't seem to be it in your case.

Cheers,

Tim

the is a linux firewall on your box
you need to allow for ports 8443 and 8080
if you have a company router, it may need to be modified.
if you have a shared firewall box outside the server you may need to
modify it

also out of the box you just use the
<a href="http://ipaddress:8443:/partymgr/control/main">http://ipaddress:8443:/partymgr/control/main
for network viewing

oops.........operator malfunction! I turned off the hardware firewall,
and the firewall on my XP machine that I was trying to gain access from,
but I totally forgot my Linux software firewall!

It works as advertised.

Thanks for the help.
