Website Preview from user sandbox

[javadeep]

Hi all ,

I have installed Alfresco Labs 3 in a linux machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux nash version 5.97)
The ip of this machine is 10.0.0.36 and the name is lxsrv36.

I have created a web project and bulk imported static html pages into the project .

In the linux machine when I click on the "Preview Website" link in the sandbox of my web client , I can preview the web pages .

When I use  the client from  a windows machine and try to Preview  my website I get a " Page cannot be Displayed " message Internet Explorer . I have tried the same from Mozilla Firefox . But the preview page is not displayed .

I have done the following to resolve this issue :

1. stopped and started the virtual server in the linux machine .Checked the log for virtual server startup . No errors .

2. opened /opt/Alfresco/virtual-tomcat/conf/alfresco-virtserver.properties and set the following :

     alfresco.virtserver.domain = 10-0-0-36.ip.alfrescodemo.net

3. in the host file of my windows machine I have added the following urls
 
10.0.0.36  10-0-0-36.ip.alfrescodemo.net
10.0.0.36  dhr.www–sandbox.10-0-0-36.ip.alfrescodemo.net
10.0.0.36  admin.dhr.www–sandbox.10-0-0-36.ip.alfrescodemo.net

I still cannot see the preview page from my windows machine .
But the preview is available in the linux machine where Alfresco is installed .

It is urgent  . Please help .

Are you running Alfresco on the Linux machine behind Apache?  Behind a firewall?  Can your windows machine resolve any URLs on the Linux machine?

[javadeep]

Alfresco is running in Apache Tomcat server , in the linux machine .
I can access the webclient from my windows machine .
the URL is http://10.0.0.36:8081/alfresco…

But the website preview  URL : http://admin.dhr.www--sandbox.10-0-0-36.ip.alfrescodemo.net:8180/
cannot be rosolved from my windows machine inspite of the fact that  I have made the changes as mentioned in my previous post .

1) Is your alfresco-virtserver.properties "alfresco.virtserver.http.port" value exactly the same as the virtual-tomcat/conf/server.xml's  Connector port?

2) Try tailing the logs on the virtual-tomcat instance. . . do you get any traffic in the logs at all?

3) What does a traceroute show you?  (if you're on a *nix machine, try mtr . . .I just discovered it and its awesome)

Hi tvaughan77 ,

I resolved the issue .

What I did is I Killed the virtual tomcat process and restrted it .

kill -9 <process-id>

That did the trick .

thanks for your help .
