Ok, I'm pretty sure you don't want to change the IP address.<br>
You should never expose the MapGuide service directly to the internet,
because that has severe security implications.<br>
<br>
You should only expose the WebServer to the internet, because it is
built to resist attacks.<br>
<br>
So, first step is to change all those back to their defaults, and
everything should work just fine.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Kenneth,
Thanks for the reply.
I'm unable to login to site administrator once I've changed the IP address
from localhost.
I used <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/659">http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/659</a> ticket #659 because I
thought this is the procedure to change the IP address of the MapGuide
Server? On the install of MGOS I used the default of 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
and everything works. I then wanted to change it to my WAN IP address
(66.116.107.3) so I edited the following text files:
1. webconfig.ini, under SiteConnectionProperties, change IpAddress to the
WAN IP Address (66.116.107.3)
2. serverconfig.ini, under SiteConnectionProperties, change IpAddress to the
WAN IP Address (66.116.107.3)
3. serverconfig.ini, under GeneralProperties, change MachineIp to the WAN IP
Address (66.116.107.3)
I then restart the MapGuide Server service and even restarted the server,
but no luck. Still getting the
"Fatal error encountered! Please login again." error message. The message
occurs both locally (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php">http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php</a>) and
remotely (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hostmapguide.com:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php">http://hostmapguide.com:8008/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php</a>)
I'm kinda of at a lost what to do and think I might have to watch some past
episodes of MacGyver on youtube.com to figure it out :-)
Thanks for all the help,
Jeff Jensen

<pre wrap="">The ticket #659 relates to people trying to write an application on one

You should not follow those directions, unless you are trying to achieve
that.
As for the WAN, you just need to have your router (or ISP) redirect
request for port 80 (or 8008) to your machine.
On most routers, it is called NAT (network address translation), but
some call it "Virtual Servers".
Once done, your webserver should be visible from the WAN as well, and
thus MapGuide is visible too.

<pre wrap="">Hello,
Following the suggestion from Andy Morsell, I uninstalled and installed
the
MapGuide Web Extensions for MGOS 2.0.2 using the Apache Webserver and
PHP.
Success! I can now login to Site Administrator.
Only thing I did different on the install was to use the default
localhost
IP address (127.0.0.1). So now I'm trying to find where I change it to my
WAN IP address for the MapGuide Server.
Thanks for the help,

I followed the suggestions from Crispin and Jason (see my notes at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://faculty.unlv.edu/jensen/html/MapGuide/">http://faculty.unlv.edu/jensen/html/MapGuide/</a>)
Any other ideas?
Thanks for the help,
