HTTP Problem

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I recently installed a Domino 8.51 server on a Windows Server 2008 platform. My goal is to move my email and web server to my office. I can not get the http services to work except on the local machine. I can connect to the server remotely so I am pretty sure traffic is getting in at least for remote access sessions. No http or nrpc is getting through. Here is what I have done:

Registered FQDN and static IP address with network solutions

Installed new Net Gear router. Using Port Forwarding for http (80), Notes (1352), smtp (25) pointing the (domino)server.local’s 192.168.1.9 address (fixed on the router to always reserve this IP)

Disabled all IIS and Exchnge functionality.

In the server doc: Internet http hostname: FQDN but it is .local

On the Ports tab I have tried every combination of FQDN, the static IP, the 192. local IP, the FQDN.org, individually and with all ports enabled.

I have configured http on Domino since the R5 days but this one has me stumped…please, please help.

Subject: Things to check

Lisa,

Little things to check:

  • Is there any firewall activated in windows system which can block connections ?

  • Are you able to telnet from a command line to your domino server on port 80 from your local network (telnet yourdominoservip 80) ?

  • This one looks maybe stupid I know :wink: , but is the http taks loaded in the domino server ?

Subject: Thank you

Sure enough it was the firewall blocking all the ports I needed. Just goes to show you…never listen to the IT admins …better to do it yourself. Thanks again
