[mapguide-users] Administering site remotely

[Dave Wilson]

I agree.

Your url should be http://servername:8008/mapguide... or http://ipaddress:8008/mapguide...

However the error you presented suggested some network address translation is in play which may mean the IPaddress of the machine doesn't match the network address the users should use. If the servername url above doesn't work you might have to edit the serverconfig.ini and the webconfig.ini and set the ip address entries to match one you can ping on the network (a routable address). You will need to restart both services.

Of course that still doesn't help with the 8008 port if that's blocked by the firewall.

You may be stuck until your IT guy gets back.

It really does sound like your firewall...

Dave,

Actually I don't really need to administer the services and probably don't
need to administer the site. I just need to figure out what is preventing me
from accessing the maps. For example, I cannot view the Sheyboygan sample
map remotely. I have to log in to the server and view it via the server's
web browser.

I'm not sure if it a setup issue, a firewall issue or something else. All I
know is I can't view the maps or access the Mapguide server using the
//localhost:8008.. url unless I am logged in to the main server.

Again, I'm not educated in Networking so it may be a simple problem. I don't
have enough info from the setup guides or the help system to figure out what
to do.

I don't know if our Antivirus is preventing me from accessing the Firewall
settings or if it something else, nor do I know how to determine what it is.
Our in-house network guy is out of town for the week so I don't have anyone
to help.

I am hoping this is a common issue for new users and there may be an answer
here. So far I haven't hit on anything helpful in my searches.
