Can't reach Alfresco box from any other client

Berlin77 — Tue, 17 Nov 2020 07:38:28 GMT

Just downloaded and installed Alfresco Community on Windows Server 2012 but can't access it from any other client on the network. During setup I bound it to the local IP and not localhost. Should I have done this differently or is the access IP locked by default? If locked where do I unlock it.

I've searched the docs and the internet honest.

Hi @Berlin77 & welcome to Alfresco!

Can you confirm that you're attempting to connect over a LAN & that you've tried accessing Alfresco like so:

http:<machineip>:<port>/share 
or 
http:<machineip>:<port>/alfresco

The default port is 8080.

Can you access it like so?

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/

If you can do that, then perhaps this thread might be useful.

HTH,

this method suggested by Eddie worked. Thanks!
